Maryland Gas Tax Hikes Hit Drivers | Baltimore News

With average gas now at $3.74 — still 50 cents above last year — commuters are feeling the squeeze, cutting trips and eyeing electric vehicles. While officials justify the move as essential for crumbling roads and bridges, everyday folks are left wondering how to manage the extra cost, especially with summer travel looming. Diesel prices also jumped, hitting 47.5 cents per gallon.
