Gas prices across the country and in Maryland continue to increase despite gas demand falling to the lowest level recorded since the end of May 2020 and total domestic supply increasing last week, according to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Domestic crude prices climbing above $50 per barrel this week and growing total refinery utilization have contributed to higher pump prices.
The gas price average in Maryland today is $2.36, up respectively two cents from last week, two cents in the last month, and down 19 cents from this date last year.
Today’s national gas price average is $2.30, up respectively five cents in the last week, 15 cents in the last month, and down 29 cents from this time last year.
