The issue we keep seeing, the price of a gallon of gas.
It's something that keeps going up and we've seen it here in Baltimore rise five cents over the past week.
Filling up the gas tank can be a dreadful situation for some.
"This increase is affecting a lot of people, affecting the economy,” said Kevin Piesto, a gas station customer.
According to AAA, gas prices across the country have dropped about two cents, while the prices in Maryland have gone up. The average price in Baltimore is currently at $3.73 a gallon, just last month the price was $3.42.
"We're believing that a lot of the lower gas prices in other parts of the country is actually contributing to the lower national average. However, some states on the east coast, Maryland, included have actually seen a slight increase over the last week or so,” said Ragina Ali, the AAA Public Relations Manager.
That increase is really digging into some people's wallets.
