Oil prices seem to be about half of what they were in Jan - but gas prices don't seem to have fallen as much. Any idea why?

- 01100011 7y agoGas prices can include significant taxes. I'm guessing it also takes a while for the lower prices to propagate through the system. You also have refinery bottlenecks, so even though we might have lots of crude, we don't have a glut of refined gasoline yet.
- theandrewbailey 7y agoThere's costs to refine (requiring lots of energy input) and to transport the gas, too.
