I know a few gas station owners and they have mentioned that they are forced to increase their prices when then purchase the gas - for example they get charged when the gas is put on to the truck that is delivering to them so if the prices change with a few hours they still get charged the higher prices. They have to make a certain percentage per gallon in order to keep the station running so when prices are high they don't make more money but less money. Think about it - if gas is cheaper, people will spend more on convenience items and more on gas. They will travel more etc.
