“Conditions are much improved compared to this time last week, when retailers struggled to keep their gas pumps stocked, due to the spike in demand from Hurricane Milton,” AAA’s Mark Jenkins said.
“Just one week later, gasoline supplies are much more stable around the state and Floridians do not have to look far to find fuel.”
As for prices at the pump, Jenkins said they are holding steady.
