In commemoration of the day the Declaration of Independence was signed more than 200 years ago, for one day only, Sheetz announced it will be lowering gas prices to $1.776 – cleaving gas prices back nearly half the national average.
The limited-time Sheetz promotion will begin just after midnight, at 12:01 a.m. on July 4. The deal will last the duration of the day — or until the gas runs out.
As of July 3, AAA reported Virginia’s average gas price to be $3.307, with the national average at $3.535. The highest Virginia gas price was reported in Fairfax at $3.585, and the lowest found in the state was reported at $2.967.
While still higher than the average person would like to pay, the average Virginia gas price does appear to be slowly decreasing:
- Average on July 3, 2023: $3.307
- Week ago average: $3.325
- Month ago average: $3.324
- Year ago average: $4.615
The discounted price will apply to regular, E85 (flex fuel), Unleaded 88, mid-grade and premium fuel grades at all Sheetz locations across Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Diesel and Ethanol Free (E0) are not included in the price drop.
