I'm officially confused

Okay, I went to the gas station this evening, and I saw this:

$1.66 per gallon.
.
One dollar and sixty-six cents.
.
How is that possible? The world is crumbling around us and gas is as cheap as a bottle of pop! I realize that global economic woes are actually pushing the price of crude oil lower, yes, I get that, sort of, in a big-picture kind of way... but... $1.66? We had some serious woes a month or two ago, too, and prices were astronomical.
.
I bet if you look at the gas station signs in the background of, say, "Beverly Hills Cop," they'd be somewhere around $1.66!
.
Amazing.
.
Puzzling.
