This is a jump of greater than 20 cents per gallon in a week. The First State used to be the least expensive in the Delmarva region, but recent increases have changed that. After weeks of decreases throughout the state, Monday&rsquo;s gas prices are now higher than the cost of a gallon of regular gas a month ago in Delaware when it was $3.168.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland<\/h2>\n<p>Gas prices were also on the rise in Maryland on Monday. Regular gas now costs residents $3.247 per gallon, nearly 18 cents per gallon higher than a week ago, when it was $3.068. Weeks of falling prices in the state were negated by the increases in gas costs the last few days. Regular gas on Monday cost almost as much as it did a month ago in the state, when it was $3.269 per gallon.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virginia<\/h2>\n<p>Gas prices in Virginia decreased on Monday, with the average price for a gallon of gas falling to $3.006. This was a slight decrease from the weekend when regular gas cost Virginia residents $3.01 per gallon.

Despite the recent increase, prices in the state remain cheaper than a month ago when it cost $3.219 per gallon for regular gas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Washington, D.C.<\/h2>\n<p>Gas prices also continued to fall in Washington, D.C., on Monday with a gallon of regular gas now costing residents $3.304. This drop continues the recent trend of decreases in the state. Yesterday, a gallon of regular gas was $3.312 and a week ago, regular gas cost $3.344 per gallon. And, compared to a month ago, the cost is much less expensive considering that the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the nation&rsquo;s capital was $3.588.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mississippi<\/h2>\n<p>Mississippi remains the state with the least expensive gas prices in the nation, costing $2.682 per gallon for regular gas. Prices have continued to fall in the state over the last week. On Sunday, regular gas was $2.692 per gallon. A week ago, regular gas cost $2.702 per gallon.

Despite having the highest costs in the nation, Monday&rsquo;s price was actually a slight decrease from yesterday&rsquo;s price of $4.695 per gallon. However, gas prices have fluctuated quite a bit in the Golden State in recent weeks. A week ago, it cost $4.742 for a gallon of gas in the state, but a month ago, regular gas was cheaper than Thursday&rsquo;s price, when it cost residents only $4.634 per gallon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1772489\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1772489\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gas prices drop to $3.216, still higher than last week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2677,"featured_media":2347422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Gas_Prices_ww6.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[9168,36836,32544,8068,32076],"class_list":["post-2347420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-economy","tag-fuel-cost","tag-gas-prices","tag-transportation","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Gas_Prices_ww6.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2347420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2347420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2347422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2347420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2347420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2347420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
