Now, a just-released study from a liberal think tank says lifting the ban could boost the U.S. economy between $600 billion to $1.8 trillion and save motorists up to 12 cents a gallon at the pump.
Researchers for the Energy Security Initiative of the Brookings Institution called the ban “an anachronism that has long outlived its utility and now threatens to impair, rather than protect, U.S. energy, economic, and national security” and cites modeling that predicts broad-based economic benefits that include more jobs, better wages and higher gross domestic product if the ban was ended.

NOT cheap enough. What's 12 cents in the whole picture. Prices have fluctuated that much in the past 2 mos.
However we are for lifting any ban on our exporting our crude.
They will just raise fuel taxes 12 cents
That's a lie. We export crude every day and night.
Maybe we should just refine our own crude oil, keep it for ourselves, and lower the gas prices by $2 or more.
