Drivers across Florida are paying less for gas than they have in the last three months.

The cost of an average price of gas fell 15 cents last week, and 36 cents over the last four weeks.

Drivers across Florida are paying less for gas than they have in the last three months.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of gas is $3.33.

That's 15 cents less than the previous week, and continues a four-week trend of declining prices in which prices have dropped 36 cents.

Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA, said the drop "has largely been driven by falling oil prices," but could stall due to the war between Israel and Hamas.

"Ongoing geopolitical tensions allowed oil prices to regain some strength last week, though they remain below price levels we saw three weeks ago," Jenkins said.

The West Palm Beach/Boca Raton market is paying the most, at $3.53, while Pensacola is the cheapest market at $3.16.

Motorists across the greater Tampa Bay region are paying $3.26 a gallon on average.
