We do export oil. Around 1/3 of the oil refined in our Gulf Coast refineries are exported.
Prices are up because the oil companies know we'll pay it. If you don't want to pay so much for gas, stop driving your car and gas powered golf cart, until the prices drop again. When they do drop, they'll likely still be higher than they were at the last drop. That is what oil companies do, and they have to satisfy their stock holders, who are very happy right now.
