Prices at the pump have dipped slightly compared with last week as demand has risen, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Representatives of the oil producing cartel OPEC+ convened last week and decided not to further restrict the output of oil from the countries it represents. The call to keep supplies consistent has helped keep the price of gas at the pump relatively steady for Americans despite the increase in demand. The next time the cartel will convene to discuss changes to output is in the first week of April.
