Gasoline is down to $2.78 and there's a corresponding 20 cent a gallon drop right across the border in CT. This REALLY is a good time to buy the Prius you want. This drop in prices is a good diversion. I bet the crowds are back looking at Hummers ;)
Gas Prices are predicted to drop closer to $2/gallon later this year. Unless a hurricane disrupts the flow, gas prices will continue to drop. See

for the cheap gas in your area. There is a $0.20/gal differential between stations here in Cary, NC.
IMHO, I don't think the drop in gas has an impact on hybrid sales. It's all those stupid consumer articles that state that the higher hybrid price versus the gas savings doesn't justify the purchase. Saw another one today in the Sunday Raleigh News and Observer. They just don't understand that a Yaris doesn't perform like a Prius. Performance in terms of creature comforts and options that are only available in cars twice the price. The gas savings is a bonus.
-small carbon footprint kinda guy, thinking about buying my 4th Prius.
FWIW - just got back from Southern California today. The highest price I saw was $3.699 in Needles and the lowest was $2.699 at a Pilot less than 20 miles east of Needles. Go figure.
