Yes, could be or stuck thermostat. Remember the chill factor when driving,at least 20 degrees lower than out side temps.

change the stat first and no need to take it apart just get a sniffer kit and test your coolant. Works kinda like an antifreeze test but it tests for hydrocarbons in the coolant. If there isn't any there then the gasket is fine.

Sorry yes you're right I was thinking you meant head gasket. My defence is, it was late for me ;-)
