Does any one know why gas prices keep going up even as the price for a barrel of oil is staying around 40 doll?

Gas prices have dropped here to around 1.50 to 1.70 a gallon instead of around 3.80 a gallon like it was at one time last fall. In Oct. is when it starting falling. It actually went up .10-.15 cents beginning of this year/end of last year, but I don't consider that as keep going up. But I haven't followed gas prices the last few weeks. As long it stays under $2, I'm satisfied. But if it get close to $1, that'll be great!Does any one know why gas prices keep going up even as the price for a barrel of oil is staying around 40 doll?
They are trying to even the price out to where it was about a year ago, before the ridiculous gas increase.Does any one know why gas prices keep going up even as the price for a barrel of oil is staying around 40 doll?
