The Florida Motor Fuel Tax Relief Act will take effect on Saturday. Governor DeSantis signed the tax rate reduction into law.
Our gas prices plummeted 25 cents a gallon overnight. Media really really hates the governor, so if the lower prices get ANY coverage in south Florida, it is brief.
The local Miami media is MOSTLY IGNORING THIS STORY because they hate DeSantis.

You could say the same about the national media.
Normally, south Florida news outlets would have reporters at gas stations asking motorists their reaction to the lower prices.
But see, DeSantis is the guy who delivered and since the media hates DeSantis, the story is ignored as much as possible.
ENERGY IS WEALTH.
Produce enough energy cheaply and people are lifted out of Poverty.
Surprised that some news outlet doesn't cry "unfair" since only the (DeSantis caused) Hurricane Ian ravaged parts of Florida need the tax relief ...
But Nooo, he gives the tax relief to the whole state, just so some greedy Alabamans and Georgians can pop over the border and drain our 9000 gallon tanks full of the precious fuels ...
Anyhoo, its a good time to be a YouTuber and start comparing prices, to ensure that local dealers don't keep collecting the tax, since they no longer need to pay the state.
Which is what a good TV news crew could do, if they wanted to.
They’ll give credit to Biden.
To lower gas prices, DeSantis LOWERS taxes. To lower gas prices, Newsom RAISES taxes.
$2.93 today
LOL
I don’t think that most people understand how sparsely populated that stretch of border is. I lived in Pensacola (Lower Alabama) for several years. Driving north was driving back in time to a smaller, quieter, and probably better America.
I wondered why gas prices had dropped so much. I paid $3.15 before the hurricane (and thought it was great), and saw $2.93 today. Now I know why. Take advantage of it.
