Gas prices holding steady for holiday weekend

July 4th, 2020 by WCBC Radio

Gas prices across Maryland are stable heading into the holiday weekend as new data shows the demand for gas has slightly decreased and gasoline supplies grew. The national average is also holding steady which means gasoline supply and demand are largely in sync across the country, and holding at the lowest point for the Independence Day holiday weekend since 2016. If these trends continue, motorists could see pump prices slow their increases through the holiday weekend.

 

The gas price average in Maryland today is $2.20, which is up respectively a penny in the last week and 18 cents in the last month, but down 49 cents from this date last year.

 

Today’s national gas price average is $2.17, unchanged in the last week, up 21 cents in the last month and down 56 cents from this time last year.
