By 2016, Maryland motorists will be paying between 13 and 20 percent more for gas, with the first increase of about four more cents per gallon happening this July, reports the Washington Post.
The increase comes courtesy a state transportation bill that passed both the Maryland House of Delegates and Maryland Senate at the end of March.
