Baltimore gas and diesel watch: regular climbs to $4.20, diesel stays near $5.61
AAA’s latest Baltimore metro check puts regular gasoline at $4.203 a gallon and diesel at $5.614. Regular is up from yesterday and last week, while diesel is essentially flat day to day and lower than a week ago.
Baltimore drivers are paying $4.203 a gallon for regular gasoline in AAA’s April 30 check, up 25 cents from a week ago. Diesel is moving the other way, at $5.614 a gallon, down 7.8 cents from last week.
Regular gas is still sharply higher than a year ago, up $1.19 from last spring. Diesel is up even more over the year, by about $2.00 a gallon.
Baltimore is sitting just under Maryland’s statewide averages on both fuels. The metro’s regular price is a touch below the state average of $4.215, and diesel is slightly below Maryland’s $5.636. Compared with the U.S. average, Baltimore regular is lower than the national $4.300 mark, while diesel is above the national $5.351 average.
That keeps the pressure on commuters, households, contractors, delivery drivers, restaurants, and other fuel-heavy businesses, even though this is still a snapshot rather than a station-by-station alarm. The practical takeaway is simple: regular gas got a little more expensive again, and diesel only eased a bit, so shopping around still matters.
If you are seeing unusually high or low prices in your part of Baltimore, share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing locally.
