West Palm Beach and Boca Raton had the highest costs on Sunday at $3.49 per gallon while Crestview-Fort Walton Beach area saw the lowest at $3.13 per gallon, according to AAA.

AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins attributed these lower prices to the change in crude oil prices, stating, “The price of crude continues to influence prices at the pump. Oil prices increased early last week on renewed optimism about the U.S. economy after a July domestic consumer spending report was better than analysts expected. By the end of the week, however, weak economic data from China caused oil prices to soften.”
