The average gas price in Rhode Island has increased about twenty cents in the last month, according to RIGasPrices.com.
The current reported price is three dollars and 52 cents.
Some experts think parts of the U.S. will top five dollars a gallon by Memorial Day amid energy cost concerns associated with the crisis in the Ukraine.
Meantime, the growing uncertainty with gas prices for drivers is prompting Connecticut Senior Senator Richard Blumenthal to introduce legislation this week that would suspend the federal 18 cent a gallon gas tax through the end of the year.
It is unclear when the Senate will take up that measure.
