It seems to me that capping the price would be the wrong answer for a couple of reasons. First, I don't want the government telling me how much I can charge for a product that I sell. Second, if you cap the prices, that does nothing to fix the supply/demand problems. capping the price would cause even worse shortages, and most likely the mile long lines at the pumps could become a reality once again. I'm not advocating price gouging, and if you think you've seen it or been a victim of it, you should report it. With any luck, those guilty of gouging will be fined and or prosecuted. But, unfortunately I doubt that will really happen.
