Fuel Subsidy

A program in which a government or other organization pays for a portion of gasoline, heating oil, or some other fuel. Fuel subsidies tend to be politically popular, especially when the market price of fuel climbs. However, they have caused unsustainable financial problems in some countries in which they have been implemented.
