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. This was a slight increase from last Thursday&rsquo;s cost of $3.228. Prices are slightly less expensive than a week ago, when drivers in Maryland paid $3.246 per gallon. Prices are also cheaper than a month ago, when a gallon of regular gas in Maryland cost $3.223.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delaware<\/h2>\n<p>Gas prices also rose in Delaware on Sunday, with the new price for a gallon of regular gas costing $3.192.

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. The new price of regular gas in the nation&rsquo;s capital was $3.296 per gallon. This was a small decrease from Saturday when gas cost $3.305. Prices are cheaper than a week ago, when gas was $3.312 per gallon.
