Virginia Gas Prices: Cheapest and most expensive places to fill up

VIRGINIA – Virginia gas prices are starting to rise again as the end of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire continues to drive up oil prices and fuel uncertainty.

Prices nationwide mirror this upward trend, with the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline increasing by 5 cents overnight to $3.84. Prices had been steadily declining in recent weeks; however, gas prices appear to have reversed course. Despite this, prices are still lower than they once were back in spring, when the national average peaked at $4.56 on May 21. Crude oil prices are currently in the $70 per barrel range but could rise if tensions with Iran remain.

In Virginia, the average price of regular gas per gallon as of Friday, July 10, is $3.77, according to AAA. Premium averages $4.66 per gallon, while diesel averages $4.86 per gallon.
