5. The cost of war?

http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/oil-gas-crude/461

Due to the enormous military cost of protecting Persian Gulf imports, the hidden cost of oil from that region amounts to $7.41 per gallon of gasoline. The cheapest gas out in my part of the Bay Area is $3.11 a gallon for regular. Add them together, and the true cost of my gas is probably around $10.52 a gallon.

...

All so we could drive our Hummers....

The US military uses more oil than some countries.
