Gas prices topped $3.60 a year ago
Gas prices continue to fall across the region.
The price of a gallon of unleaded fuel fell to $2.93 a gallon just this morning at a Shell gas station on Route 610 and Patton Drive. It’s the lowest price for a gallon of gas in the North Stafford area.
Other gas stations, including two Wawa convenience stores and a Valero gas station have regular unleaded fuel priced at $2.97 per gallon. It’s $2.99 at a 7-Eleven and Circle K stores on nearby U.S. Route 1.
Prices in Woodbridge fell even lower than they have in Stafford. At a Citgo station at U.S. Route 1 and East Longview Drive was priced at $2.92 pre gallon. Prices throughout the Woodbridge area are mostly under $3 per gallon.
Steadily decreasing prices on the world’s oil market are what’s to blame for the drop in prices at the pump.
And these prices are much lower than what we saw about six months ago. Earlier this year in Woodbridge, the average price per gallon was $3.60, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. One year ago, gas prices averaged $3.25 per gallon.
