The only way it could have dropped that much, that quickly, is if it was artificially high in the first place, IMHO. I think this is doubly supported by the even more amazing UK price drop cited here. Rogues. Scum. Thieves. Robber Barons.
Theres data out there to tell us if it's true or not. We just need to hack into Jiffy Lube's computers and extract the mileage data.
