Average gas prices in Virginia have risen 5.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.90 a gallon today, according to GasBuddy. The national average has fallen 1.4 cents to $2.99.
The average price in Henry County is unchanged at $2.78, and Martinsville is up eight cents to $2.88.
Patrick DeHann with Gasbuddy says the national dip won’t last long because of ongoing refinery challenges in the Great Lakes and California. The near $3 range may drift lower after the refinery issues are resolved.
