Gas prices at the pump rose over the past week in the wake of higher oil prices, with experts foreseeing more increases as long as oil costs remain elevated.

The national average price for regular gas has risen by roughly 8 cents per gallon over the past week to more than $3.66 per gallon as of April 16 from $3.58 a gallon, according to data from American Automobile Association (AAA). That’s an increase of 20 cents compared to a month ago.
