You need to think like a businessman. If the cost for you to purchase gas for resale has gone up then the price will go up so that you continue to make a profit. If the price of that same gas for resale goes down, the price goes up to increase your profit margin. Then if anything happens that could possibly affect you obtaining said gas, or damaging your profits the price goes up. I fail to see why the price would go down from that stand point.
