Florida gas prices are typically near the national average, currently around $3.20-3.60/gallon. Florida's state gas tax is approximately $0.35/gallon (combined state + county), which is moderate compared to California ($0.68) but higher than Texas ($0.20). Prices vary by region — South Florida and tourist areas tend to be $0.10-0.30 higher than the Panhandle. Florida's dependence on imported gasoline (no in-state refineries) makes prices sensitive to supply disruptions during hurricane season. Our calculator estimates your monthly fuel costs based on commute distance and vehicle efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is gas in Florida?
Florida gas prices average $3.20-3.60/gallon (regular unleaded), typically tracking near the national average. South Florida and tourist areas (Orlando) are $0.10-0.30 higher. The Panhandle and rural Central Florida tend to have the lowest prices. Prices spike during hurricane season due to supply concerns.
What is Florida's gas tax?
Florida's combined gas tax is approximately $0.35/gallon, including state excise tax, state comprehensive enhanced transportation system tax, and county fuel taxes. This is moderate nationally — lower than California ($0.68), New York ($0.48), but higher than Texas ($0.20). Florida's gas tax has historically been fixed, not percentage-based.
Is it cheaper to drive or fly in Florida?
For trips under 300 miles (Tampa-Miami, Orlando-Jacksonville), driving is usually cheaper for 2+ people. A 300-mile trip at $3.50/gallon and 30 MPG costs about $35 in gas + tolls ($10-30 SunPass). Flight + rental can cost $200-400 per person. For solo travelers, Brightline or flights may be more economical for South Florida routes.
How do Florida toll roads affect commute costs?
Florida has extensive toll roads: FL Turnpike, I-75 Express, SR 408 (Orlando), SR 836 (Miami). SunPass users save 25% over cash tolls. Monthly toll costs for regular commuters: $60-200/month depending on route. A Miami-Fort Lauderdale daily commuter on the Turnpike pays ~$120-150/month in tolls alone.
Should I switch to an EV in Florida?
At current rates: gas car (30 MPG, $3.50/gal) costs $0.117/mile; EV (3.5 miles/kWh, $0.12/kWh) costs $0.034/mile — saving 71%. On 15,000 miles/year, that's $1,245 in fuel savings. However, Florida charges a $200 annual EV registration fee. Net savings: ~$1,000/year before considering the vehicle price difference.
