(NEXSTAR) – With tariffs on some imports in place – and the threat of more looming on the horizon – consumers are worried the cost of everything from groceries to cars to clothing is about to skyrocket. Thankfully, that may not be the case for gas.

The price at the pump has climbed this month, leaving spring break road trippers and daily commuters paying a national average of around $3.17 a gallon, according to AAA.

In a normal year, we would expect cheaper prices from here on out. Over the past 10 years, gas prices have typically peaked for the year around April 10, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

While demand for gas is higher in the summer as more people hit the road, prices usually top out in spring, he explained.
