As for the increases shown above, the wholesale and retail prices of gasoline of course move with crude pricing. With the drops in crude over the last eight months or so, they naturally have been dropping prices while still trying to cover their replacement costs (which is what you actually are paying for when you buy gasoline). Now that crude seems to have found a at least temporary bottom, they are likely looking to recoup loses that they incurred during the massive drop over the fall.
