In the US, the average price of gas topped $5 a gallon this summer, according to a GasBuddy survey. The tech company conducted a study that showed about 70% of travelers said high gas prices affected their travel plans, so they hope the #BetterWithABuddy sweepstakes will lighten the load for those who want to travel soon.
In the Tampa Bay area, gas prices have dropped 15.9 cents per gallon, GasBuddy announced Monday, to an average of $3.54 per gallon. That’s a slightly larger drop than the average for Florida, where gas prices have dropped 14 cents per gallon, AAA reports.
