Gas prices level off in Maryland

Gas priced leveled off in Maryland last week as the cost for a gallon of unleaded held steady at $3.09 -- high by historical standards but still more than $1 below the 2008 record, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.

Nationally, the price crept up from $3.09 to $3.10. Crude oil closed at $91.43 Friday.

AAA remains pessimistic about the near-term prospects at the pump, saying that it is not a  question of if, but when, crude oil prices will top $100 a barrel.

There is an outfit called MyGasDiscount.info, I joined them (it doesn't cost anything to join) and then
when I fill up, I keep the receipt and mail it in to get a 50% rebate on the amount I spent for gas. However, there is an upper limit that you can do each month I think it is $200 or something like that -- but believe me an extra couple of hundred bucks a month gives my family our weekly trip to the movies again... or you can always buy more gas.. LOL. Here's the link

We were researching the best website to find low gas prices and cam across yours! We are seriously looking at hybrids and electrics for our next vehicles.
