Gasoline prices across the commonwealth remained unchanged this past week, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 4,081 stations in Virginia.
Gas prices averaged $2.93 Monday, 2.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago but still 99.1 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Virginia is priced at $2.60/g while the most expensive is $3.49/g, a difference of 89.0 cents per gallon.
The national average price of gasoline has fallen 2.1 cents per gallon in the last week to an average of $3.05/g. The national average is up 2.two cents per gallon from a month ago and up 93.5 cents per gallon from a year ago.
“The ferocious rise in gas prices has finally started to cool as gas prices have eased across a majority of the country for the first time in months,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “There have been some challenges in pockets across the country as demand remains very healthy, and stations in some areas where demand is very high struggle to keep up with demand thanks to the truck driver shortage. As we head toward the July 4 holiday, I’m optimistic that we’ll continue to see prices slowly drift lower before possibly rising in later July or August should we see any disruptions from hurricane season. But for now it seems most Americans are simply happy to be getting outside and back to some sense of normal.”
