GasBuddy says we should expect gas prices to hover around the $3-per-gallon mark for the foreseeable.
“OPEC+ announced another boost to oil production for December over the weekend, though they also signaled a pause in further increases from January through March. For now, expect the national average to hover in the low-$3 range, potentially drifting lower once refinery issues are resolved,” said Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, which pegged the average of a gallon of regular unleaded at $3.03 a gallon at the end of the business day on Monday, up four cents from a day ago.
The average price in Virginia is holding steady for the day at $2.90 a gallon, which is still up six cents per gallon from a week ago.
The national average price of diesel has increased 2.5 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.66 per gallon.
