In the 1970's the US government made a huge blunder, and when oil became scarce due to an embargo, pressured gas stations to keep prices low and to not sell gas on certain days. This drove massive shortages as people rushed to stock up on cheap gas.The Toecutter said:The way things are going, it may become a necessity. People take for granted that gasoline is available at all because they always have access to it. That could end soon.
JackFlorey said:In the future, if governments are smart enough to not screw with the economics of gasoline too much, it will be widely available - but may not be affordable. That's vastly preferable to it being cheap but unavailable.
Agreed. However, for such people, that may make gas unavailable for cars but available for scooters (for example.) Or available only for critical trips. In both cases, preferable to the shortages caused by price controls/limiting supply.The Toecutter said:Whether price controls and their consequences are preferable or not depends upon how much money one has. If the price of gasoline is unaffordable to someone, it is functionally the same to them as it being unavailable altogether.

China has so much electronic junk laying around, this Genghis Khan-looking MF was able to build an electric car completely from scratch with scrap, and do yourself a favor and watch the whole video, because it is quite something and there are lots of hilarious surprises toward the end:acres of ebikes in china
