Gas Prices Dip But Watch Hormuz | Roanoke News

Gas prices are finally cooling off—down 11.5 cents in Virginia to $3.80, with the national average dipping to $4.01. Roanoke saw a 10-cent drop to $3.76, though still above pre-pandemic levels. Forty-seven states saw declines, with diesel lagging. Analyst Patrick De Haan links the drop to Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, but warns that tensions around the Strait of Hormuz—potentially involving Iran—could spike prices again, pushing gas to record highs this season. For now, breathe easy at the pump—but stay alert. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
