[quote=Anonymous]Rationing isn't a solution, because it creates all sorts of kinks and funky incentives in the economy. Certain products will disappear overnight as they require hydrocarbons in the manufacturing process. It throws all sorts of wrenches into the supply chain that are difficult to foresee. Plus, you end up creating a powerful black market for additional fuel. It's better to just let prices rise and let people/businesses make their own choices. The guys who go off-roading every weekend will curtail their activities if prices get too high. The company that relies on plastic packaging will pivot to alternative lower cost forms of packing. Rationing will end up shutting down portions of the economy without rhyme or reason. [/quote]
