Gasoline prices to jump in 2021 as national economy mends from COVID
Vermont Business Magazine GasBuddy, the travel and navigation app used by more North American drivers to save money on gas, is predicting that 2021 may feature a sharp rally in gas prices by year end, warning that the national average could rise to as high as $3 per gallon should the nation broadly recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the risk exists for some pain at the pumps during the year, GasBuddy expects the yearly average will jump a more modest 27 cents per gallon in 2021. As of today, Vermont's average gas price was up 3 cents from a week ago to $2.25 a gallon. The US average was up 4 cents to $2.30.
