pumping gas
  • US gas prices have hit a five-month high, fuel-tracker GasBuddy said Thursday. 
  • Americans are paying an average of $3.54 a gallon to fill-up their vehicles, and $3.65 is in sight. 
  • Gas prices are rising following a jump in oil prices after OPEC+ said it will slash production starting in May. 

Americans are seeing gas prices touch five-month highs in early April as OPEC and its allies prepare to cut oil production, and pump prices should continue to rise in the short run, according to GasBuddy. 

The national average gas price has reached $3.54 a gallon, the highest since the Thanksgiving holiday, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a Thursday message on Twitter
