I mean, that already is used to significantly lower at-the-pump gas prices from what they actually are, and raising gas prices is an easy way to lose an election in America, so that probably won't change. Notice that in many other countries gas prices are way higher than in the US.

How much is it in the US right now? In Germany it is around $9 per gallon.

In my area it's around $3.20

Depends on the cost of living and state taxes in an area. Usually it's $3.50-$5.00 a gallon/~4 liters. At the gas stations in Germany on American military bases it's about $4.50 a gallon right now.
