I wouldn't even call it unfair. It's perfectly fair in that everyone is in it for themselves. Your point is dead on though.

Government: Lower your prices, oil is cheaper now!
Oil companies: Mwahahahaha! *kicks baby kitten*
Gas isn't even that expensive. People will buy billions of dollars worth of bottled water, an industry with little to no regulations of quality or purity claims, and have a smile on their face. Yet when a commodity like gas goes up they cry foul.
I want cheap gas as much as the next guy, but it's hard to argue with that. I still drink water from the tap.

Hop too buckaroo, don't give up on yourself.
On gas prices:
Get educated TNL.
Please.
Don't like paying high gas prices? Hey, I don't blame you. Neither do I (which is why I'm looking to move even closer to work and probably riding the bus). But all this omgeeeeeeevil BP/Exxon/Chevron/Texaco is coming across as petty jealousy. Oil companies are raking it in right now b/c India and China are coming online and driving up the cost of oil.
So ride a bike, take the bus, or get a fucking Prius and stop crying that a high demand product (gasp!) costs more.
