Baltimore gas prices jump 29 cents in a week to $4.24 a gallon, GasBuddy says

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Drivers across Baltimore are paying noticeably more at the pump this week as gasoline prices continue to climb.

Average gasoline prices in Baltimore have risen 29.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.24 a gallon today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 663 stations in Baltimore.

Prices are 20.6 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and $1.13 a gallon higher than a year ago.

GasBuddy price reports show the cheapest station in Baltimore was priced at $3.99 a gallon Sunday, while the most expensive was $4.99 a gallon, a difference of $1 per gallon. Across Maryland, the lowest price Sunday was $3.99 a gallon and the highest was $5.39 a gallon, a difference of $1.40 per gallon.

“Gasoline prices rose in every state over the last week, with some of the most significant and fastest increases concentrated in the Great Lakes, where states like Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois saw sharp spikes, while Wisconsin experienced more modest gains,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “At the same time, diesel prices surged to new records in parts of the region, with some areas touching the $6-per-gallon mark. While refinery outages were a key driver behind those outsized increases, early signs of improvement could help ease some of the most extreme price pressures in the Great Lakes in the days ahead. Beyond the region, markets are also digesting a wave of new developments— including OPEC+ raising production for June and President Trump outlining a plan to free stranded ships— which could help restore some supply. However, with so many moving pieces, the outlook remains highly fluid, and while some localized relief may emerge, broader price volatility is likely to persist in the near term.”

Nationally, the average price of gasoline has risen 38.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $4.42 a gallon today.
