I'd be willing to pay a few cents more

More like a few dollars more, and if a radical Islamic government took over in Saudi, a few tens of dollars more at least in the short run. It would probably settle back down but still be higher then it was before.

BTW - If you wont buy oil from middle east dictatorships, are you also going to boycott items that are made in China, and everything else made in or extracted from area controlled by oppressive governments?
