Maybe not... I've been told that when you calculate the tax breaks that
the US Government gives its energy companies for exploration, and the
cost for the armed services to keep shipping lanes open (I won't even
bring up the middle east) that our gas is actually about ten bucks a
gallon. We just pay for it somewhere besides the pump.
