The oil market is international. Oil basically will go to the highest bidder. We can try to regulate the price of oil and we won't do anything but hurt ourselves. Opec basically laughed at Bush when he suggested that they increase production to help stabilize and lower oil prices. I can't image oil producing nations being willing to go before American bureaucrats to justify the price of oil.
Oil companies are not the problem.
