Gas prices are high, with many people feeling the toll at the pump.

Wisconsin's jump in gas prices was part of a surge, with the top five price increases in the U.S. coming from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Analysts at GasBuddy attribute the rise to refinery outages, especially in Indiana and the conflict in the Middle East.

Interfaith Caregivers of Washington County is a community-based nonprofit organization which helps seniors in the county remain independent. One of the services they provide is offering transportation. Interfaith Caregivers' Transportation Director Sophia Reynolds discussed the increase in fuel prices with WTKM.

"I oversee a good number of our van drivers. We have fourteen vans throughout the county. It's amazing to see how much of a difference these people who are taking time out of their day and want to give back to our older adults in the community. We certainly have enough funding, but we are always looking for more donations to help cover the cost. Those rides in the vans are going down to the VA Hospital and Froedtert. We are doing all of those for free for our older adults here. We certainly would appreciate a little extra donation."

High fuel prices, which remain above $4, continue to have an impact.
