re: Subsidies are different than price controls.

Not really. The effect is usually the same.

re: Also the subsidies probably are less than the taxes the government gets from oil, gasoline, diesel and the industry in general, so the money is still flowing to the government, not to "big oil".

Depends on how you define "subsides". In addition to all their huge tax breaks and sweetheart oil leases, I call the Iraq war an oil subsidy.

Without including the $'s spent, what are 3500 US lives worth?
