Because gas station business is a great business. You can make serious profit in these volatile oil prices because you can get away without lowering prices as long as there is demand.
But when a station or two give in and lower prices the others will fall--they are just hanging on as long as they can enjoy these profits. Supply and demand and why capitalism works so well.

Gasoline prices are not merely a function of crude oil prices. First there is a "crack spread". This is the margin required to crack crude oil into its constituent usuable products like gasoline (kerosene, diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, etc.). I will admit that crack spreads are unusually high right now. However, there are supply/demand factors that reflect tightness in refining capacity. And of course there is the long-term issue: no new refiners built since 1979. Then there is the cost of distribution. Gasoline isn't produced where it is consumed. Finally, there are taxes. About 1/3 of the cost of gasoline is government taxes.
