In commemoration of the day the Declaration of Independence was signed more than 200 years ago, for one day only, Sheetz announced it will be lowering gas prices to $1.776 – cleaving gas prices back nearly half the national average.
The limited-time Sheetz promotion will begin just after midnight, at 12:01 a.m. on July 4. The deal will last the duration of the day — or until the gas runs out.
As of July 3, AAA reported Virginia’s average gas price to be $3.307, with the national average at $3.535. The highest Virginia gas price was reported in Fairfax at $3.585, and the lowest found in the state was reported at $2.967.
While still higher than the average person would like to pay, the average Virginia gas price does appear to be slowly decreasing:
- Average on July 3, 2023: $3.307
- Week ago average: $3.325
- Month ago average: $3.324
- Year ago average: $4.615
