Gas prices in Central Florida are up again to start the work week.
According to AAA, the state average for a gallon of regular gas was $2.49 in Sunday’s survey. The national average is $2.45.
"The average price at the pump typically reflects a bit of seasonality this time of year," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "It is not uncommon for prices to inch higher leading up to the summer driving season and the transition to more expensive summer-blend fuel. However, record high domestic oil production is likely to deliver the cheapest summer gas prices in a decade."
While prices nationally rose about 3.9 percent in March, analysts say gas prices remain relatively low, having fallen about 33 percent over the past year.
