D.C. Gas Price Are the Highest in the Nation

September 7, 2005 - 11:40am
WASHINGTON (AP) - If you think you're paying a lot at the gas pump, you are.

The cost of gas in D.C. is the most expensive in the nation, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.

The cost of regular unleaded jumped 3 cents overnight to $3.38 a gallon.

AAA spokesman John Townsend says while prices appear to be stabilizing across the nation and the metro region, consumers are taking a "beating" all across the board at service stations in the District.

In Virginia, regular unleaded is costing about $3.12 a gallon and in Maryland, $3.26.

Nationally, consumers are paying about $3.04 a gallon.

Prices should start to begin to stabilize as full service has been restored after Hurricane Katrina to the Gulf pipelines that bring gas to the Washington area.
