"Florida gas prices should move even lower this week," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "Pump prices are still coming back down from the spike caused by the flooding in South Florida. Additionally, the oil market suffered its third consecutive week of declines, which should apply more downward pressure on prices at the pump."

West Palm Beach continues to lead the state with an average price of $3.79 per gallon. Naples ($3.70) and Sebring ($3.64) round out the top three.
