Jacksonville gas prices surge: Regular hits $4.25, diesel sets new record

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Gasoline prices across the United States have climbed above $4 a gallon on average, reaching their highest level since 2022, according to AAA.

The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is now $4.02, up from around $2.98 a month ago.

In Florida, the increase is even steeper. AAA reports the state’s average for regular gasoline at $4.21 a gallon, while diesel has surged to $5.80, a new record for the Sunshine State.

In Jacksonville, drivers are seeing similar spikes.

He tried to warn his fellow truckers, long before the 2024 election, to not do it...to no avail.

Gas is just hitting 4 dollars at some places, but the lowest I saw this a.m. on my in to work was $3.40. Diesel is ranging between 5-6 dollars and gallon, again depending on where one goes.
