Driving the Region: Mixed Price Signals

Across the broader region, gasoline prices vary widely. While Lynchburg prices moved higher, several nearby markets saw notable declines — particularly in Northern Virginia and Charlottesville.

Gas prices in Arlington–Alexandria are down roughly 33 cents per gallon from yesterday, a sharp one-day move that mirrors a similar decline in Charlottesville. Those declines run counter to the upward trend seen in Greater Lynchburg and may reflect short-term wholesale pricing or competitive adjustments that could correct quickly.
