It's all part of our training process. See how high the price can be before we scream and stop driving, then throttle back so it seems like we're getting a deal, but not as low as it was before. Repeat the process over and over, the price goes higher and higher.
BTW, I really don't think that the petro-speculators give a greengoddamn about harming anyone or anything, more oil means more profit, they don't care who can't commute or who freezes. Oil needs to be regulated, energy needs to be regulated.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
