This article is not good:
- It's all about price, not usage
- very US centric
- large overlap with Fossil fuel subsidies
- large overlap with Price of oil
This seems like it would require a total rewrite. I'd rather remove it and improve Fossil fuel subsidies / Price of oil with the data from this page. Киан (talk) 19:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Sure, the title sucks but it's been continuously maintained by a host of contributors for close to 20 years after being spun off from the parent, Gasoline. MNewnham (talk) 21:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. No rationale for deletion has been offered; this is not terrible, and ordinary processes can fix many issues. Bearian (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- I cut and posted some material out of this article into Energy law, and vice versa. Again, I need to emphasize, as someone who has worked on many energy law articles, this can be fixed and connected to lots of other articles, and in no way is it US-centric.

- Keep This is usually a big topic in US politics so I'm not surprised it's US biased, but as per the above that's not really a good reason to delete an article. Swordman97 talk to me 04:04, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- It is just as big an issue in the rest of the world. If this article is US biased the reason is the same as for other articles: that the majority of editors of the English Wikipedia are American. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
