Motorists in Palm Beach County can expect to pay more at the gas pump this week as the cost for regular unleaded fuel rose statewide by an average of 16 cents per gallon.
The per-gallon average for the West Palm Beach-to-Boca Raton metro market Sunday was $3.34, up 13 cents from a week ago. The statewide average was $3.15, up from $2.99 a week ago, according to the AAA-The Auto Club Group.
Last week marked the first time this year that Florida's per-gallon average price for regular unleaded fuel was below $3. Gas prices could continue to rise into next week, AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins said.
