VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Gas prices in Virginia have seen better days from a year, and even a week ago, as they are on the rise ahead of Daylight Saving, according to AAA.
“Spring is nearly here, with longer days, better weather, and more opportunities to hit the road,” said Ryan Adcock, AAA Tidewater spokesperson. “And we are seeing this reflected in rising gasoline demand. But remember, we see this trend every year.”
