About Gas Prices in Florida
Gas prices in Florida are reported daily by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) as part of their weekly 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 — 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.
