I hope not. Under rationing, the politicians are first to get gas; and they are too full of gas already.

Rationing is a technique used when there is a need to assure a more fair means of distributing something that is in short supply. There is no oil shortage; therefore, there is no need for rationing.

I hope not. Gas rationing creates artificial shortages.

The prices will have the same effect as rationing.

No. We lived through Jimmy Carter's gas rationing; it was a mistake.

It will not happen unless the government installs price controls which will in turn limit supplies

No, but more alternative transportation here in the US, especially in the west would be nice and could ease on the usage.

No. I think the consumers will be able to adjust before it requires rationing.
