yep, the country was functioning before the occupation with gas at that price. The occupying forces really don't need any more hassle at the moment, so I guess someone has to pay for the cheap petrol. Hell, you've payed well over $50 billion anyway, this probably ain't a drop in the ocean compared with the amount of hardware that just went up in smoke in the "shock and awe" phase.
