Americans enjoy the most subsidized Gas on the planet (that means you pay less at the pump but you still pay for it through taxes, debt, and foreign policy deals). Perhaps a few years of $6.00-$7.00+ / gallon would be good for your economy, or at the least good for your society. I mean you can stop wasting billions in taxes on cheaper fuel prices and start spending that "free" money on crazy things like universal healthcare and other social programs.
