With certain damage from Hurricane Ida to southern U.S. oil fields, AAA Auto Club South says gas prices in Florida will likely go back up. Ida’s path through the Gulf of Mexico as a Category 4 storm took over oil rigs in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. That's where roughly 17 percent of the country’s entire crude oil production takes place,. According to AAA It’s still unclear how prices at the pump will be affected, but the supply chain is likely to experience interruptions. Florida’s gas prices were on the decline over recent weeks, dropping from a 2021 high of $3.05 at the beginning of August to the average of $2.95 per gallon this past week.
