If you need to get down the road, to get to work, you pay anyway.

How are you going to get to work if there is no gas to buy because of price controls? Some people use gas to work.. others use it just to fart around. When the price is raised, those farting around don't buy as much, so that people who need it to get to work have it.

If necessary (and there would be time) such things as gasoline would have to be rationed in a national or regional crisis.

That doesn’t comply with the rigid, religious tenents of libertarianism, but it is how a body of people must act.
