I bought gas at $2.37 in Virginia on Saturday. At another Virginia location it was $2.27, however in my county it was $2.74. Fairfax county is always the most expensive.
Fairfax is liberal....
that explains a lot. Richmond burbs is in low $2.30s today.
For what it's worth, the price of basic energy at the wholesale level or on the commodity exchanges has just fallen over a cliff these past few days, after oscillating for month or two.
