The national average price for a gallon of gas is slightly higher than a week ago and five cents higher than a month ago, according to AAA. Increased demand due to nicer weather is pushing national prices up slightly. The national average remains well below last year’s price because crude oil prices are lower. Data shows gasoline demand increased last week, while supply decreased and production rose. The average gas price in Virginia is $3.00, four cents lower than a week ago but six cents higher than a month ago. In Hampton Roads, prices decreased five cents to $2.97 per gallon, which is the same as a month ago and 56 cents lower than a year ago.
