Baltimore, MD - Ferb. 2, 2026 - Gas prices in Baltimore have seen a slight decline over the past week, dropping 0.8 cents per gallon to an average of $2.97 per gallon, according to a recent survey by GasBuddy.
Despite this decrease, prices remain 7 cents higher than a month ago but are 21.1 cents lower than the same time last year.
The survey, which covered 663 stations in Baltimore, revealed a significant price range within the city. The cheapest station was priced at $2.64 per gallon, while the most expensive reached $3.31 per gallon, marking a 67-cent difference.
Across Maryland, the lowest price recorded yesterday was $2.49 per gallon, with the highest at $4.39 per gallon, a disparity of $1.90.
Nationally, the average price of gasoline fell by 0.9 cents per gallon over the last week, now averaging $2.83 per gallon. This national average is up 3.9 cents from a month ago but is 21.3 cents lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel also saw a decrease, dropping 4.2 cents to $3.585 per gallon.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noted that despite recent increases in oil prices due to geopolitical tensions and supply concerns, the national average for gasoline remained relatively stable. "Just over half of states saw gas prices decline, led by Indiana, Ohio, and other price-cycling states that had previously seen prices jump but have since started to fall," De Haan said.
He also highlighted that prices are rising on the West Coast as the transition to summer gasoline begins and another refinery shutdown in California is anticipated in April.
In neighboring areas, Washington, D.C., saw an increase of 6.7 cents, bringing its average to $3.07 per gallon, while York experienced a slight rise of 1.3 cents to $3.17 per gallon.
