But the President should still put gas rationing into effect at least for one month!

Oh that's good. Let's allow the government to ration gas and further limit free enterprise in this nation shall we? At no point, except in a time of war (which we aren't and even then only under extremely limited conditions) should the government have any control over the supply or demand of a consumer good

But the President should still put gas rationing into effect at least for one month! How? In a day filled with hysterical posts about the end of civilization as we know it, you post ranks up near the top.
It would take weeks to put the system in place; coupons, scheduling, etc. Not to mention the fact that it is not necessary and carries a stiffer penalty to the economy than the market force approach.

The markets are quite able to ration gasoline supply, if left to themselves. The price increase is, in effect, rationing the supply.
