PARKERSBURG — Motorists across the country received an early Christmas present this week as auto club AAA announced the average price for a gallon of gasoline hit the $3 mark for the first time since 2021. In northern West Virginia, the average sits at $2.82 per gallon, 10 cents lower than the previous week, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.

Prior to May of 2021, the last time the national average hit $3 was October 2014.
