Drivers across the state of Florida are enjoying the lowest prices for a gallon of gas in three months, AAA reported.
The average price for a gallon of gas was $3.32 Monday – down 15 cents from last week and 31 cents from one month ago, AAA reported.
Gas prices are still up six cents from a year ago.
