"Even the annual seasonal demand dip for gasoline during the lull between spring break and Memorial Day, which would normally help lower prices, is having no effect this year," said AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross.You can't control gas prices, but you can be smarter when it's time to head to the pump.Waldenback said there is no ceiling, but it's certainly possible for the national average to go above $5 at some point this year.
