The national average for a gallon of regular gas shot up 11 cents to $3.72 as of Wednesday since Monday, AAA reports.

Surging oil prices will likely cause the price at the pump to climb even higher, experts say.

West Texas Intermediate climbed to $7.19, settling at $110.60 by the end of Wednesday's formal trading session — the highest settlement price since May 2011, AAA says.
