The recent climb in pump prices primarily is attributable to the high cost of crude oil, according to AAA. Moderating winter weather and optimism over a possible decline in COVID-19 cases have led to an increase in gas demand.

"More drivers fueling up here coupled with a persistent tight supply of oil worldwide provides the recipe for higher prices at the pump," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a news release.

"And unfortunately for consumers, it does not appear that this trend will change anytime soon."
At a news conference last week, GasBuddy representatives said gas prices could go up by as much as 50 cents in the coming months.
