Regular was $1.99.9 at at gas station in Belen, NM right off I-25 on 12/24/18. The nearby Costco price was undoubtedly less. I had spent the afternoon visiting in-laws in San Acacia where we were able to sit outside in bright sunshine on a relatively warm day.
Florida has no state income tax. I don’t know what the state tax on gasoline is in Florida but the state needs revenue to operate. Tourism related taxes probably bring in a significant percentage of Florida’s tax revenue.
Petroleum prices are due to rise. Oil has been priced exceptionally low for a while.
