Maine
is because of the increase in demand on gas supplies people begin to travel and commute more post-pandemic.The war between Russia and Ukraine has also had a negative impact on gas prices as gas supply from Russia has been cut due to international sanctions.
Gas prices in Maine are almost two dollars higher per gallon than they were a year ago, with some motorists now paying $5.006 per gallon—nearly 20 cents higher than the national average.
Here’s where you can find the cheapest gas in Maine:
