$2.29 a gallon in Elkridge

The statewide average price of regular gasoline leveled off at $2.414, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic, but this morning (Thursday), the three stations at the highly competitive corner of Montgomery Road and U.S. 1 in Elkridge all stood at $2.29.

It was a year ago today that prices finally fell below $4 to register a statewide average of $3.999. Wasn't that a glorious day?
