While you may have noticed a dip in gas prices, gas tracking tech company Gas Buddy doesn't think that decrease will last.

It is predicting the national average will rise to $3.41 a gallon.

That's up from the current average across the country at $3.02.

It is basing its forecast on low oil production from OPEC and refinery closures due to COVID. "We could see a national average that flirts with, or in a worst-case scenario, potentially exceeds $4 a gallon," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

Locally, AAA says the average in Westchester County for a gallon of regular is $3.68.

In Rockland, it is $3.66 and in Dutchess it is $3.52.

Those are all above the New York State average, which is $3.49.
