Gas prices

When I went out to get some breakfast earlier this morning, I noticed that gas was down to $1.58 a gallon at the corner convenience store (OnCue Express, which usually has the lowest gas prices in my neighborhood). Will it get down to $1.50 or lower? I'm betting/hoping it will.

(Actually, I'm hoping it will get down to $1.00 or less, but that may be too much to hope for. Or maybe not.)
