Gas prices in Virginia: Lower Atlantic average and state gas tax

The EIA doesn't publish a weekly gas price for Virginia on its own, so the closest official figure is the Lower Atlantic average: $4.16 a gallon for regular in the week of September 21, 2026, +12.2¢ from the week before. On top of the pump price, Virginia charges 42.4¢ a gallon in state gas taxes and fees, 9th highest of 51. Add the federal 18.4¢ and taxes come to 60.8¢ a gallon, roughly 15% of the average price shown here.
