It is good to check in on the price of gas from time to time (especially in this current economy). The last time The Observer reported on the average price of gas in Carroll County and Maryland was back on February 27th. In that article there were some positive signs. It is fair to say that 9 days later the numbers (price of gas) have gotten worse.
Back on February 27th the average price of gas in Carroll County was $3.229. Today on March 7th the average price of gas in the county is $3.356 (nearly a 13 cent per gallon increase in 9 days).
