I think so. IIRC Nixon was the one who implemented the price controls.

Some stations are now offering a cash discount.

Hmmmm.... I wonder if any gas stations would consider selling gas for about 10 cents less than average. Limit sales to, say, 10 gallons per customer. That would artificially cause a gas line. So why would a gas station do that? I would say make it cash only so they don’t really lose a lot on gas sales and then more then make up the difference by selling stuff inside the gas station store. Make gasoline a loss leader. Does this sound like a good idea for gas stations?
