I, personally, would like less fuel to be wasted on transporting oil, but I don't want oil to be cheaper, and I don't want Big Oil to make even more money. It's a paradox, I know. Maybe they would give the saved money to charity, or sponsor environmental protection groups? Yeah, right...
I would be with you if you can explain why oil companies making a profit is bad, and why expensive oil eating into people's expendable income is good?
