Speak Out: How Much Was Gas When You Started Driving?
The average gas price in Maryland is $3.39 per gallon.

When I was 17 years old, gasoline in New Jersey was 95 cents a gallon.
I could fill up my 1988 Chevy Beretta for about $15. Now that 15-gallon tank would cost over $45 to fill up for $3.39 per gallon, which currently is the average price of gasoline in Maryland.
According to AAA, gas prices continued their upward tick for the second straight week, following 11 consecutive weeks of declines, inching up 6 cents nationally since the beginning of July.
