It’s a complex problem.

Certainly these retailers shouldn’t be benefiting from everyone else’s misery.

However, it is a crisis and the extra cost is really the only way to signal to people that they should be using less.

I think some kind of rationing is inevitable and that being the case we should start sooner rather than later. Doesn’t matter if that means buying fuel every other day, or capping how much you can have. We need everyone to know that it’s a scarce commodity.

Rationing will trigger (more) hording, and it will be better to get that out of the way now IMO.
