Gas prices rise and hit $3.91 per gallon

The national average pump price for a gallon of gasoline rose 12 cents over the past week to hit $3.91 on Monday according to data from AAA, fueled by high demand and tight supplies.

AAA says the recent announcement from OPEC+ stating the group of oil-producing nations would slash output by 2 million barrels per day led to the price of oil creeping above $90 a barrel for the first time in several weeks, contributing to rising costs at the pump.
