Triple A Mid-Atlantic says faced with a rare November hurricane churning in the gulf, the national average for a gallon of gas only fell by three cents since last week to $3.10. Spokesman Morgan Dean says, “Gas prices often freeze as a hurricane enters the gulf and oil production and refining are threatened,” he says. “Once Hurricane Rafael passes, pump prices should soon regain their downward momentum.”
Morgan says Virginia’s gas price average today of $3.00 per gallon is down three cents in a week, down four cents in a month and down 20 cents from the price we paid on this day in 2023.
