Maryland Gas Tax Rises Slightly

Maryland drivers brace for a tiny gas tax hike starting July 1st—just 46.6 cents per gallon, a mere fraction over this year’s rate. It’s the first increase in two years after minor cuts, despite recent gas price swings. Surprisingly, last year’s spike was bigger, and this year’s rate is actually slightly lower than July 2023. With oil markets still volatile, next year’s tax could climb if prices stay high. Lawmakers are also debating automatic inflation-linked hikes, with some saying now’s not the time to add more burden to drivers.
