I think you might find that without government subsidies (aka tax money), automobile and fuel prices would be pretty ludicrous as well.

and that link only discusses individual state subsidies, not federal.

general motors alone is the second highest recipient of federal subsidies, at $3.5 billion, second only to Boeing at a whopping $13b.

surely this has nothing to do with a capitalist company exploiting your emergency or poor planning, based on basic market forces such as supply and demand.
