You can do a tiered system. First 10 something gallons is 'rationed' price with it getting slightly more expensive as you want more. Allows you to get more if you really need it, but also ensures that most can get at least some. Albeit it is a lot more complicated to rollout.

So now the base level price of gas is much higher and you don’t have any extra gas to go around. Everyone is poorer. Let prices rise. People will scramble to send gas where it is needed to make a quick buck. Those that it hits hard will drive a lot less. Those that hate the high bills will get more efficient vehicles. Supply goes up, demand goes down, prices fall again.
