Since February 1, gas prices across Maryland have increased by at least 23 cents. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 27 cents since the start of the month, increasing nine cents just this week. Gas prices locally and nationally have increased due to longer-than-expected refinery outages as a result of last week’s winter storm that impacted the Gulf Coast.
The gas price average in Maryland today is $2.70, up respectively seven cents from last week, 23 cents in the last month, and 26 cents from this date last year.
Today’s national gas price average is $2.69, up respectively nine cents in the last week, 29 cents in the last month, and 22 cents from this time last year.
