As gas prices continue on a downward spiral in Jacksonville, many gas stations are advertising $1.95 for gas and a lot of residents and moving companies are filling up their cars, trucks, and even gas cans. The average price for regular gas fell five cents to $2.07 earlier this month, according to AAA. That’s 24 cents lower than last month and has Jacksonville movers excited for the extra savings.
Many Jacksonville gas stations are well below the $2.07 amount and are listing their stations at lower prices. Gas Buddy.com stated that a vast amount of gas stations are charging $1.95, mainly the gas stations that are located on the Southside of Atlantic and Beach boulevards. The lower-priced stations on the Westside were $1.97 and $1.98 at Race Trac on University Boulevard, BJ’s on Philips Highway, and Safer Discount Beverage on Lem Turner Boulevard. Race Trac and Murphy Express on Beach Boulevard had gas prices at $1.99.
Although the majority of gas stations are featuring costs under $2, some stations near the airport continue to charge $2.29, so if you are moving to Jacksonville you should stray away from the airport in order to fill your tank.
According to AAA, prices are usually at their lowest in the fall and winter because fewer Americans are driving long distances and demand drops. Oil prices are still dropping, which is good news for those who are moving to Jacksonville, as the fuel charge from your Jacksonville movers should be much lower.
Jacksonville movers and those who hope to move to Jacksonville, hope to continue on this path but for now can breathe easy knowing that when they get to the pump, it won’t break the bank.
