Md. Lawmakers Bothered by High Gas

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- If you live there you know -- Maryland is one of the five most expensive states in the country when it comes to filling up the gas tank.

And Maryland lawmakers are calling on the oil industry for answers.

Drew Cobbs, with the Petroleum Council, says major pipelines that were disrupted by Katrina are serving Maryland again. And the supply situation is improving.

"I think the laws of supply and demand will work."

But lawmakers and many others question the price surge. One of them is Lon Anderson with Triple-A Mid-Atlantic.

"So far, I haven't heard any good explanations why Maryland has some of the most expensive gas in the nation."

Lawmakers are looking into legislation against price-gouging.
