Sundayā€™s state average was $3.56 per gallon.

ā€œIt appears that Florida gas prices have now fully adjusted to a recent oil price hike and the reinstatement of the stateā€™s gas tax,ā€ said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. ā€œOil and wholesale gasoline prices took a step back last week, which should cause gas prices to plateau.ā€

AAA reports that since Nov. 1, the state average for gas jumped by as much as 29 cents per gallon.

Last weekā€™s high of $3.58 per gallon was the highest daily average price since Sept. 1, according to AAA.

The most expensive metro markets are currently West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($3.70), Gainesville ($3.62) and Homosassa Springs ($3.60).

The least expensive metro markets are Crestview-Fort Walton Beach ($3.27), Pensacola ($3.32), and Panama City ($3.33).
