SHREWSBURY, Pa. — Gas prices in the Commonwealth have been on the rise for the past month, but Pennsylvania's neighbors to the south will start to see prices go down soon.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed a law suspending the gas tax in his state until mid-April. That means Marylanders will save 36 cents on every gallon of gas.
"I would think that would be a great idea for Pennsylvania to follow, although I don't know if Tom Wolf will do that," Pennsylvania resident Nick Stallings said.
Commonwealth residents like Stallings are already taking advantage of Maryland's lower gas prices at The Fill'Er-Up gas station located right on the state line in Parkton.
"[On] rush hour days, we'll have lines backed up just to get gas before people go into Pa., because this is the last gas station before getting into Pennsylvania," John Cane, an employee at the gas station said.
At $3.69 per gallon, consumers in Maryland save 63 cents more per gallon compared to an average gas station in Pennsylvania.
"I live in Pa., and I commute into Maryland, and fortunately I don't have a very long commute because I have to put premium in my car which is really putting a hit on the wallet," Pennsylvania resident Kelly Gillispie said.
Still, some Pennsylvanians aren't too impressed with Maryland's latest move.
"Even though they've suspended the gas tax, it's not much change," Jeffrey Moody, who also commutes to Maryland for work said.
Other Pennsylvanians, however, remain in favor of making a change where they live.
"I would love to see our governor suspend our gas tax, 'cause our gas tax is way higher than theirs," Pennsylvania resident Scott Shaub said. "That'd be a huge savings."
