Yes. Ending price controls on gasoline worked perfectly. Prices went up a
bit, production surged, then prices collapsed. They got below $1/gallon.
Even at $1.40 today they're near historic lows in constant dollars.

You people are soooooooo funny. You shut down all the nuclear power plants,
want to blow up your hydro damns, put price controls on power...then you
wonder why there's a shortage of electricity. Must be the sun. It cooks your
brains.
