Local Pricing

Baltimore and its suburbs have the strongest heating oil market in Maryland. The DC suburbs (Montgomery, Prince George's counties) are predominantly gas-heated. The Eastern Shore has a niche but active oil market. Western Maryland (Hagerstown, Cumberland) sees higher consumption due to colder temperatures.
