If you look at the price of the barrel of oil in nominal dollars (i.e. what is called a dollar contemporary with when it was sold) it is not 100% higher than when George W. Bush left office. Last I looked it was only 10% or so higher. So your argument about the cost of imports does not hold for this case either, unless imported Chinese dragon tails or the like are an essential component of gasoline.
