Everyone has cheap fuel. Not everyone fails to tax it as much as the 'merkins do. I'm not so sure I approve of that, but that's because I see the problem of the impending failure of the oil system, and the necessary starvation of billions of people that will result.
So, it makes sense that the US government (no matter who is in power) would want to protect oil interests.
