We should see prices on gasoline drop to the $3.20 range or so over the next few weeks if the slide continues.

Fair enough.
My job this week has me going to St. Louis (Earth City) and back, and just as you get to the mall on the west side, there was a Quicktrip that was selling gas for 3.15/gal. The further west you go, the higher the cost went, until on my way home, the Quicktrip by my house was selling for 3.49/gal. Granted, this was at 8 this morning when I saw the price. Maybe it's dropped by now.
