As painful as it would be n the short term, that is probably the answer. Fuel prices are subsidized to the point of several dollars per gallon. We actually PAY oil companies to look on public lands for more oil which they then get to keep, and Exxon paid NO income taxes in 2009 on $35 BILLION in profits.
