About Gas Prices in Florida

Gas prices in Florida are reported weekly by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) from its survey of fuel retailers. The price shown is a statewide average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in Florida may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.

Several factors influence Florida's gas price: state fuel taxes, the distance from major refineries, pipeline and distribution infrastructure, and the required seasonal fuel blend. Use the calculator above to see exactly how today's Florida price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.

Florida Fuel Taxes: ≈38¢/gal

Florida has a mid-to-upper-tier state gas tax, varying slightly by county. Florida collects roughly 38 cents per gallon in state and county fuel taxes, with the exact figure varying by county because local option taxes differ. That places Florida in the middle-to-upper tier of state gas tax burdens.

Tax figures are approximate state-level taxes and fees per gallon of regular gasoline and exclude the 18.4¢/gal federal excise tax. Rates change, so verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.

How Florida Gets Its Gasoline

Florida has no oil refineries and no major gasoline pipelines from the Gulf Coast. Nearly all of the state's fuel arrives by tanker ship into ports like Tampa, Port Everglades, and Jacksonville, then moves inland by truck. That makes Florida unusually sensitive to hurricane disruptions: when a storm closes ports or knocks out power, local shortages and price spikes can develop within days even if the storm misses the state's refineries-supplying neighbors.

Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in Florida

Prices are generally lowest in North Florida — Jacksonville and the Panhandle — and highest in South Florida, with Miami and the Keys typically topping the state. The Keys in particular pay a premium because every gallon is trucked down a single highway.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current average gas price in Florida?
The current average gas price in Florida is shown above, from the EIA's weekly survey of fuel retailers. Prices vary by city and gas station; the figure shown is a statewide average for regular unleaded.
Why are gas prices different in Florida compared to other states?
Gas prices vary by state due to differences in state and local fuel taxes, distance from refineries, pipeline infrastructure, and seasonal fuel blend requirements. Florida's pump prices reflect all of these local factors.
How can I reduce my gas costs in Florida?
Keep tires properly inflated, avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, reduce idling, and use our gas cost calculator to plan efficient routes. Small MPG gains add up: over 12,000 miles a year, going from 25 to 27 MPG cuts fuel use from 480 to about 444 gallons, about 36 gallons a year. Multiply that by the Florida price above to see the dollar saving.
Why do Florida gas prices spike during hurricane season?
Florida has no refineries and no fuel pipelines from other states — virtually all gasoline arrives by ship through ports like Tampa and Port Everglades. When a hurricane closes ports or triggers evacuation demand, supply tightens within days, which is why Florida sees sharper short-term spikes than inland states.
