Now you need government workers to decide all this. Costing lot and Reducing efficiency further. 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.
