Baltimore, MD - May 28, 2025 - Following a national trend, average gas prices in Baltimore have leveled off at $2.99/g in the last week after a short rise into Memorial Day Weekend and fallen back to the prior week's average, GasBuddy reported.
The average stands 1.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and 67.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. According to a GasBuddy survey of 663 local stations yesterday, the cheapest station in Baltimore was priced at $2.75/g, while the most expensive was $3.39/g.
Neighboring areas such as Maryland, Washington, and York are displaying similar stagnant patterns over the last week among their prospective averages. Statewide, the lowest reported price was $2.59/g while the highest was $3.79/g.
As West Coast diesel refinery issues begin to ease, gas prices are stabilizing at one of the most affordable rates since 2021. In a report released by the nationally tracking gas price company, GasBuddy, gas prices are projected to remain steady following a slight dip leading from Memorial Day weekend into summer.
The average price of gasoline across the U.S. has remained unchanged in the last week, averaging $3.13/g.
The national average has risen 3.1 cents per gallon from a month ago but stands 43.0 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data.
In a similar trend, the national average price of diesel has decreased 3.2 cents in the last week and stands at $3.476 per gallon currently.
"While the national average didn’t fall quite as far as anticipated for Memorial Day, it was still one of the most affordable since 2021— and, when adjusted for inflation, among the cheapest in nearly a decade," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
"As we move into the heart of summer, I believe we’re likely to see a relatively stable stretch for gas prices as refinery maintenance wraps up. Don’t expect the national average to rise above $3.30 per gallon, nor drop much below $3 for now. While refining issues on the West Coast are beginning to ease, several factors could still influence prices in the weeks ahead—including growing uncertainty around the upcoming hurricane season," the analyst said.
