If you are headed to or from Florida during this holiday week, you’re going to need to add a few dollars to your gas budget.
In mid-December, Floridians were enjoying the lowest gas prices in more than two years, with an average price of $2.92.
But today, AAA reports that the average price for a gallon of gas in Florida is $3.12, the same as the average price for the nation as a whole. The average price in Orange County, where Orlando is located, is $3.14.

Analysts said gas prices are expected to fluctuate over the next several weeks.
