Actually the price controls are for minimum price per gallon, NOT maximum. Do you understand the concept?

The MINIMUM price for gallon is NOT a consumer subsidy but a "protection" for the small family milk producer against a corporate large scale production.

Minimum price set by gov. will always mandate the maximum as retailers will tend to clump all around the set price. so by setting one ya set the other. Price control for any reason on anything is crazy, free markets equal out, government intervention screws up everything.
