And if you’re in the Orlando metro area, there’s even better news at the pump.

On Sunday, the average price per gallon sunk to $2.73.

In fact, AAA said a third of service stations throughout Florida were selling gas for less than $2.75 per gallon.

“Pump prices are falling at the perfect time, as more than 6 million Floridians prepare to take a road trip for the year-end holidays,” AAA’s Mark Jenkins said.

He added that domestic gas supplies are strong, and the price of oil remains relatively low.

“Oil prices regained some strength last week, so a modest increase is possible at the pump, but AAA expects gas prices to remain low through the holidays.”
