Gas Prices Spiking in Miami: GasBuddy

Drivers in Miami may have noticed a spike in the price of gas in the past week.

According to GasBuddy's daily survey, the average price of gas has gone up 7.1 cents per gallon, averaging $2.37 on Sunday.

The national average is also on the rise, going up 17.5 cents per gallon during the last month nationwide. Still, the national average on gas stands at 110.2 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“Prices at the pump are starting to heat back up, mostly driven by a rebound in crude oil prices," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. "Nationally, almost 9 in 10 stations is selling over $2 per gallon, while a month ago, less than half of stations were selling over that price."

DeHaan describes this as a typical seasonal rebound in gas prices, fueled by refinery maintenance season which hasn't yet gotten well underway.

Florida, along with California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, saw the largest increases in the past week.

All of those states saw increases of more than 10 cents per gallon.
