One side-effect of the COVID-19 virus can be seen at gas pumps, both locally and nationally. Pump prices across Maryland are between 15 and 28 cents lower than this time last year. If crude prices remain low, motorists will likely see continued relief at the pump during the run-up to spring as the world grapples with how to contain the global public health threat and financial risks associated with COVID-19.
The gas price average in Maryland today is $2.26, which is down respectively 10 cents in the last week, five cents in the last month, and 24 cents from this date last year.
Today’s national gas price average is $2.30, down respectively 10 cents in the last week, 12 cents in the last month, and 21 cents from this time last year.

Falling gas prices aren’t a side effect of the virus. Saudi Arabia decided to out produce Russia. Thus they’ve flooded the market with their cheap oil.

I’m not stupid I know why prices are going down. But why are the prices in Cumberland always so much more than everywhere else when you have one company that controls 90% of the market it sounds like price gouging to me
