The prices have fallen, because demand has fallen due to the economic crisis, and people are increasingly using other means of transportation. However, it's kind of a double-edged sword > as prices fall, people are likely to start driving more...pushing demand, and thus prices, back up again. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/ In order to keep prices down, people need to permanently alter their transportation methods, by realizing that oil IS in fact finite, and we must increasingly use alternative fuels.

The economy is going to hell in a hand basket; factory orders are down, consumer spending is down, investing is about nil. The price is going down because product demand is less; you sure you you want to continue on this path? If so you should be happy for at least the near future.
