Gasoline demand is now only 30 percent lower than a year ago, compared to the 50-75 percent deficit seen just weeks ago during the height of Florida’s stay-at-home order, according to AAA.
In a statement released on Monday, AAA said that gas prices in Florida increased last week – albeit slightly – for the first time in 10 weeks.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, gasoline demand has climbed 40 percent in the past five weeks.
Although gasoline production increased (11 percent) last week, supplies declined (4 percent) during the past three weeks.
Wholesale gasoline prices also jumped 6 cents per gallon during the past week.
