THE GAS IN FLORIDA IS LOW NOW SINCE THE PRICES WERE FROZEN BY THE HURRICANE EMERGENCY ACT, THE 1ST HURRICANE THAT HIT THE PANHANDLE RECENTLY. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THERE IS ANY ENFORCEMENT IN FLORIDA. NORMALLY THE FLORIDA PRICES ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION SINCE FLORIDA GAS TAXES SUBSIDIZE NEW YORK, MASSACHUSETTS, & ALASKA GAS PRICES. IT'S NO WONDER FLORIDA IS KNOWN AS THE SCAM STATE. IT'S THE ONLY STATE IN THE UNION RUN LIKE A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. BUT THE WEATHER IS GREAT, DISCOUNTING THE HURRICANES. NEW JERSEY & GEORGIA ARE THE LOWEST PRICES ON THE EAST COAST @ $2.09- $2.19 GAL. FLORIDA REGULAR NOW IS $2.29 - $2.49 GAL.
