Around here, there are "seasonal" increases. Since we're 30 miles outside of Louisville, KY...the price always goes up [just as hotel/motel room prices rise] just before the first Saturday in May [Kentucky Derby Day]. They may or may not go down before the annual Memorial Day weekend price increase, at the end of May.
In the last few years, hotel/motel room prices spike again, along with gasoline prices, just before the first weekend in August, when the NSRA Street Rod Nationals bring 13,000 cars and a related number of guests into Louisville.
My guess is, what you saw was an Easter price spike. Don't know if people go to visit family on Easter as much as they did when I was a kid, but I would imagine there's a significant amount of travel on Easter weekend...and some stations are more than willing to cash in with higher prices.
That said...gasoline prices on Saturday were between $3.99 and $4.09 a gallon for regular around here. Across the bridge in Brandenburg, KY, the pump price was $3.83 a gallon. With my Kroger discount points, I paid $3.63 a gallon. Since I had some business in Brandenburg anyway, it was well worth waiting until I got there to fill up.
