AAA: Maryland Gas Prices Continue To Climb, National Average Nearly $3 Per Gallon

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The national average price for a gallon of gas is nearly $3.

AAA says people in the US are paying 14% more at the pump this month than they did in February.

Right now, the average price for a gallon of unleaded is $2.87.

With demand growing, prices are expected to continue to climb, AAA says.

Here in Maryland, we are paying slightly less than the national average, at $2.84 a gallon.

Last week, we were paying $2.80.

At this time a month ago, it was only $2.51.
