    This Independence Day, Floridians will set new travel records — and gas prices have risen to the occasion .

    Why it matters: If you're among the 4.5 million expected to hit the road, brace yourself (and your wallet).


    Zoom in: The average price for regular gas in Florida is $3.46, per AAA . That's almost 20 cents more expensive than last year's average.

    • Local averages aren't much better. Tampa Bay sits at $3.49, while South Florida ranges from $3.40 to $3.50.

    What they're saying: "Gas prices remain pretty volatile," says Mark Jenkins, an AAA spokesman. "Although we have seen some price swings in recent weeks, it's not likely significant enough to impact people's travel plans."
