Why haven’t gas prices decreased?

Fri, Mar 27, 2015 (2 a.m.)

Has anyone else noticed that while oil prices have fallen significantly, prices at the pump have not budged?

It was a great relief when a number of gas stations around the Las Vegas Valley dropped the price of regular unleaded below the $2-a-gallon mark recently. After a short time, oil prices began to creep up, causing a parallel increase in gasoline, to the point of reaching the $3 threshold at many gas stations.

Crude oil prices have recently dropped again to the same level when gas was $2, and yet the prices at the pump have not decreased one cent. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?
