Traveling By Car This Weekend? Here's What You Need to Know About Gas Prices

This Memorial Day Weekend an estimated 1.8 million people will be traveling on Florida's roads. While the roads will certainly be busy, there is finally good news for drivers: gas prices are on the decline!

Neil Gamson, forecaster for the U.S. Energy Information Administration, believes gas prices have peaked and are on their way back down. He expects prices to remain in the mid-$3/gallon range through July 4th, but it looks like the days of gas prices at $4/gallon are over for now.

Higher Tolls for SunPass Users

SunPass, along with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), have decided to make some changes to the way South Floridians use their SunPass.

The first round of major changes came about in February of this year when the Florida Turnpike's Homestead Extension went "coinless", requiring all drivers to purchase a SunPass or receive a monthly bill for their tolls with an added service charge of $2.50.

The second wave of changes was brought about Thursday when the Senate passed legislation which would remove the typical 25 cent discount SunPass users previously enjoyed.

There are also plans to ease congestion on parts of SR-7/US-441 in Broward and Palm Beach Counties by adding toll HOV lanes.
