ORLANDO, Fla. – Gas prices are once again on the decline as 2.45 million Floridians prepare to take on this Independence Day holiday weekend, according to AAA.
AAA confirms that gas prices averaged $3.35 per gallon, which is 6 cents less than the week before and is the lowest daily average price in two weeks.

“Independence Day road trippers will pay much less at the pump than they did last year,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA.
This time last year, Florida gas prices averaged $4.54 per gallon, which is $18 more for a full tank than what drivers are paying now, according to AAA.
Some of the most expensive places to get gas right now are in West Palm Beach-Boca Raton ($3.41), Naples ($3.45) and Fort Lauderdale ($3.39).
The least expensive places to get gas right now are in Crestview-Fort Walton Beach ($3.26), Pensacola ($3.29) and Sebastian-Vero Beach ($3.30).

Daytona Beach: $3.346, down from $4.614 a year ago
Lakeland-Winter Haven: $3.336, down from $4.676 a year ago

WAYS TO SAVE ON GASOLINE
Combine errands to limit driving time.
Shop around for the best gas prices in your community.
Pay with cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
Remove excess weight in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds taken out of the vehicle improves fuel economy by 1-2%.
Drive conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.

OKLAHOMA CITY– Alabama softball is facing another elimination game at the Women’s College World Series. The Crimson Tide will take on No. 4 Florida on Sunday afternoon.
Alabama and Florida played the opening weekend of SEC play back in March with the Gators coming away with the series win. Florida infielder Skylar Wallace said both teams are different from that meeting in the regular season.
“Playing Alabama in the beginning of the season, they’re not the same team now that they were. We’re not the same team that we were back then either,” Wallace said. “We’re familiar with each other. We have a lot of film. We can reflect on that, see our goods, our bads, what can lead to us a good game plan and approach.”
No. 14 Alabama and No. 4 Florida are scheduled for a 2 p.m. first pitch on ABC, but the game likely will not start on time with inclement weather in the area.
