If gasoline actually reflected its true cost, there would be a market for 30 mpg trucks. Bureaucrats have already distorted the market by heavily subsidizing fossil fuels (and gas guzzlers, for that matter), so a little bureaucracy is needed to shift the outcome back to where it would otherwise be.
