If you’ve filled up on gas recently, it may seem like it’s costing more to top off your tank than it has over the past year. Your imagination isn’t playing tricks on you – gas prices have jumped in recent months, and the trend is likely to continue.

“[Oil prices are] now at $66 for that for the US benchmark, that [West Texas Intermediate or] WTI price. They’ve doubled since November. We’re at a multiyear high back to levels not seen since 2018”
