"Good Gas" Top 5 Page for this destination Maryland Transportation Tip by grandmaR

Driving in Maryland, you will notice that gas stations have varying prices for more or less the same product. Since both of us did quite a lot of driving for work, we kept a note of where gas (or - now- in our case - diesel) is likely to be cheaper. For diesel we also want a station which has a good turnover because we are less likely to get a bad tank. We also like to use Hess or BP (formerly Amaco) because we know they have good quality fuel. (My husband used to inspect oil terminals, and our son worked for Hess.)

The gas stations on the Eastern Shore near Salisbury and Cambridge on Route 50 are usually cheaper. And at our home, Ridgells in Hollywood on US 235 is where we go. Another good place is on Route 3 in the middle of the divided highway. But whenever we are in the Baltimore area, we come here. It may not look like it from this sign, but we saw other diesel on this day that was as high as $2.49/galleon.
