Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Gas prices have finally begun to stabilize a little bit, now that fuel is one again moving through the Colonial Pipeline. AAA Mid-Atlantic Spokesman Morgan Dean says prices did not change from Sunday to Monday. They have jumped 18 cents since the pipeline shutdown began on May 7th.
The current average for a gallon of gas in both Virginia and Richmond is $2.70. Dean says while things have stabilized, do not expect prices to fall. In fact, they are likely to rise in the near future as we head to Memorial Day and summer and summer travel.
Dean expects it to still take a few more days before most gas stations are completely back to normal from the shutdown.
