Could be. OTOH, what if the GUYS (vs guy) at the top were really convinced we were on the cusp of environmental disaster (global warming) as a result of the carbon emissions.

If they (all government) really felt that way, it might be easiest to force consumers into more efficient (lower emissions) vehicles by letting the price of fuel go up.

Also, remember any reduction in prices as a result of the release of reserves would be short-lived. So, any (yes, ANY) president looking to easy this issue before an election might wait until closer to election time before instituting such measures.

(If you couldn't tell, I'm prejudiced against all politicians since they all appear self-absorbed.)
