Lower Oil Prices Slow in Reaching Pump

Headline says it all. Why is it that when oil prices surge, the prices at my local station correspond immediately. not so when the opposite happens.

Bruce Springsteen covered this topic quite nicely in the first verse of his 1980 song "Held Up Without A Gun"

I was out driving just ataking it slow
Looked at my tank it was reading low
Pulled in a Exxon stationout on Highway One
Held up without a gun, held up without a gun

Some damn fool with a guitar
walkin' down the street
ain't got nowhere to go
Ain't got nothing to eat
Man with a cigar says, "Sign here son"
Held up without a gun, held up without a gun

Now it's a sin and it oughta be a crime
You know it happens buddy all the time
Try to make a living, try to have a little fun
Held up without a gun, held up without a gun
