"The downward trend at the pump may not last much longer," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Crude oil and gasoline futures prices jumped 9% last week, almost completely erasing the losses that led to the 2-week drop at the pump. This could cause falling pump prices to plateau, or possibly inch higher in the coming weeks."

Locally, West Palm Beach continues to lead the state as the most expensive market with an average price of $3.62. Naples ($3.52) and Fort Lauderdale ($3.48) are next.
