Why don't gas prices fall?

The pump price of gasoline disconnected from the Brent crude index price of
oil in March 2015. While crude oil prices fell, gasoline pump prices rose. Here
are some reasons why

Well because more then 77% of the United States is composed of Racist morons who call themselves liberals but hide behind religion. Then when all the sinning is done and gone they call themselves Conservationists and claim that it is okay for schools to practice non-heterosexual ideas.

Gases prices will stay up because.........the NATIONAL DEBT IS STILL HIGH.

They just want to collect on you and call it Health Care Reform. People are stupid. I am stupid, your stupid, and nobody cares about anything.

you want to cry about gas prices? Oil holds the same value since 1955 and with inflation it rises. That keg of oil you had from then is worth the same amount. As an consumer you pick up the tab of the federal government.

If the fed was removed and we could trade our money in for gold, vice versa. The nation debt would drop.

This is not an new problem. It is the same problem because of racism and hate. To solve your oil problem all we have to do is create a melting pot with an giant orgy. That is it.

Why not just buy money instead of gas. So simple isn't it.

I kind of know the answer to that. Certain states and even cities demand certain blends of gasoline. I call it designer gasoline. So the refineries have to refine different blends at different octanes to meet the demand certain states have. Puts a strain on the existing old refineries we have.

The type of oils you use.

You're not dependent on Middle East oils and haven't been for a couple of decades now. Without Saudi Light and Basra Light and all the other light oils that naturally produce high octanes, you have to use recombination techniques for your intermediate grade oils like West Texas. It takes longer and costs more money.

Another reason is the volume of higher octane fuels has declined. In other words, less higher octane fuels produced with demand remaining constant equals higher prices for higher fuel grades.
