Gas prices in Hampton Roads on the rise

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Currently, the average cost of gas in Hampton Roads is $3.44 per gallon.

This is 9 cents less than the national average, but it’s also 5 cents higher than it was a week ago and 25 cents higher than it was a month ago.

“Uncertainty of the impact of Ukraine’s targeting of Russia’s oil infrastructure likely spiked oil prices recently,” said Ryan Adcock, AAA spokesperson. “But those concerns have abated somewhat for now, and gas prices are settling into a pattern similar to last year when the usual seasonal increase was slow and steady.”
