Turns out, 2.7 million Florida travelers will drive to their Thanksgiving destination. That’s about 91 percent, but it couldn’t come at a better time.
Drivers are seeing a little bit of relief when it comes to gas prices, which actually fell, on average about 10 cents last week. Right now, Florida drivers are paying $3.46 per gallon. That’s just ten cents more than last year.AAA said Monday that’s due to strong refinery output, which in turn, has led to a big gain in gasoline supplies.
Locally, Duval county’s average is the same as the state — about $3.45. Georgia’s gas tax is still suspended so drivers north of the state line are paying $3.11. Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. That’s why JAX asks passengers to get to their terminal at least two hours early. Give yourself that extra time to account for any unexpected delays.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
