Americans should be wary of gas prices again rising starting in the spring, according to one petroleum analyst, who warned that a gallon of regular gas could hit $4 again.

“It’s a question of when, not if. I think something like that could happen by potentially April, maybe sooner,” GasBuddy petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan told Yahoo Finance. “I think motorists are going to start getting squeezed more so in late February. The next three weeks could be a bit of a mixed bag.”
