FL Economy: Gas Prices Down from Last Year. Florida motorists enter the busy summer driving season with average gasoline prices nearly 40 cents lower than a year ago. The AAA auto club said the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas Monday in Florida was $3.08 a gallon, compared to $3.45 a gallon a year ago. “This should enable Florida gas prices to remain within the same 20-cent range they’ve cycled in for the better part of the past year,” Jenkins said in a statement. The national average price Monday was $3.14 a gallon, according to AAA. Average prices in Florida ranged from $2.76 a gallon in the Panama City area to $3.24 in the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area.

This is not merely about understanding AI- it is about fencing off ungoverned intelligence before it reorders the educational hierarchy. When a student uses AI to generate insight, the question is not whether the information is false, but whether the process has been severed from the sanctified struggle of learning. In bypassing this struggle, students risk mimicking the voice of another- be it friend or machine, or TikzTok, the amalgamation of both- and in doing so, they mar the image of God within themselves. The fear of AI is not the root; it is the fruit. The root is the abdication of Moral Responsibility and the loss of Reverence for Truth itself.
An interesting data point when discussing gas prices around the state would be to include the local taxes in each mentioned area. Northwest Florida seems to have cheaper gas than South Florida and those local taxes are key.
