Why the sudden drop?
Because the economy went to crap for a while and it's still a bit iffy, they want to get their money out of the gas they have in case it all fails.

There are a bunch of reasons. The dollar is gaining strength because banks are hoarding treasury bonds, thus prices are going down. There has also been a drop in demand. Check out the drop on the Dow Transportation Index.

A few things could happen to raise gas prices.  The banks could sell their treasury bonds or increase the money supply any other way, or OPEC could cut oil production.  I think both scenarios are likely in the near future so it might be a good idea to buy your gas while it's still cheap.  Even if we go all the way into a deflationary collapse, the oil companies don't like prices to be this low and they will cut production.
