Gas Prices Drop But Still High | Roanoke News

Gas prices are finally dropping—here in Virginia and across the nation—with regular gas hitting $3.62 a gallon and diesel at $4.75. Roanoke saw a 6.5-cent dip, now averaging $3.54, down nearly 40 cents from last month but still 59 cents higher than this time last year. Nationally, prices fell 7 cents in a week, down 40 cents from a month ago, yet still 63 cents above 2023 levels. July 4th was the third most expensive in history—better than May’s peak. Global tensions linger: Russian refinery attacks are forcing imports over exports, tightening supply and slowing pump price declines. Locally, Lynchburg ($3.52) and the New River Valley ($3.56) bookend Roanoke’s $3.53 average. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
