ELI5:How come the price of Oil went from 100$ a barrel to 27$ and the Oil price in my country went from 1,5€ per liter to 1,15€ per liter.

It makes no sense in my eyes. I know taxes make up for the majority of the price but still its a change of 73%, while the price of oil changed for 35%. If all the prices of manufacturing stay the same it should go down more right?

Edit: A lot of people try to explain to me like the top rated guy has that if one resource goes down by half the whole product doesnt go down by half which i totally understand its really basic. I just cant find any constant correlation between crude oil over the years and the gas price changes. It just seems to go faster up than down and that the country is playing with taxes as they wish to make up for their bad economic policies.

Suppose you want to make a grilled cheese sandwich. You go to the store and buy cheese (crude oil), bread (refining), and butter (taxes). If each of these cost $1, your sandwich costs $3 to make. Now suppose cheese is on sale for half price. The cost of your sandwich went down to $2.50, not $1.50 because the other ingredients still cost the same.

Edit: forgot a word.
