WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Florida's average gas price is now on a 10-day streak of declines, falling a total of 13 cents per gallon.

"Florida gas prices have recently followed a cycle where they decline for about two weeks, then shoot back up again," AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said. "That trend, plus a recent uptick in futures prices, will likely lead to a jump at the pump, possibly as early as Monday afternoon."

The state average dropped from $3.23 to $3.14 per gallon on Sunday, according to the AAA. That price is the lowest daily average since Feb. 1.

"The state average has plummeted more than 16 cents in the past two weeks," AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said.

The least expensive gas in the state is in the Panama City area for $2.93 and Crestview-Fort Walton Beach at $2.99.
