Late last week, Virginia had a price of $2.988 per gallon. Sunday&rsquo;s price was more expensive than a week ago, when a gallon of regular gas only cost people in Virginia $3.01. It is, however, less than a month ago when a gallon of regular gas in the state was $3.162.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland<\/h2>\n<p>The gas price in Maryland has also increased lately, with Sunday&rsquo;s price rising to $3.234 per gallon for regular gas.

It&rsquo;s also more expensive now for gas in the state than a month ago when a gallon of regular gas was $3.146.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Washington, D.C.<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the rest of the Delmarva region, gas prices in Washington, D.C., decreased on Sunday, albeit ever so slightly.
