BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- If you're hitting the road this Labor Day weekend, you'll see some significant relief at the pump compared to last year.
AAA Mid-Atlantic said gas prices in Maryland averaged $2.46 per gallon Friday, five cents cheaper than last week and 32 cents lower than last year.
The lower gas prices are thanks to lower crude prices and an increase in supply along the East Coast, AAA said.
