Update: Gas Prices

Gas prices are now down to $1.42 per gallon. I'm told of stations offering $1.29 if you buy a car wash.
A few people have noticed the dropping oil prices: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28223004/
Unfortunately, they seem totally focused on how this will hurt the bad guys, and completely unaware that maybe, just maybe, we could take advantage of the situation here at home. I guess that would require some knowledge of economics...and maybe the ability to analyze root causes.
