NORFOLK, Va. Fuel prices are going up in Hampton Roads, and AAA says prices could continue to climb thanks to a major gasoline pipeline shutdown.
But AAA Tidewater public affairs director, Holly Dalby said there s no reason to panic. Gas supplies are fine; this is a distribution issue.
“When COVID first started, gas prices were like super low and now it’s just like way skyrocketed back up and it’s crazy. I don’t even like getting gas anymore,” driver Megan Mason said while filling up her car at a Virginia Beach gas station. “The other day I went past the 7-Eleven and it was like three dollars or something per gallon and it’s just crazy.”
