1. The policy did give people the incentive to fill up their tanks earlier in the week, as they would need to ensure they had enough fuel for Sunday driving before the gas stations closed.

Price ceilings do not have much effect when market prices are at or below the ceiling.

When the market price is already below the price ceiling, the ceiling does not restrict the market, and prices can continue to operate freely without any impact from the ceiling. In contrast, price ceilings can lead to shortages and other market distortions when they are set below the equilibrium price.

In the case of a binding price floor, the price paid in the market will be greater than the free market equilibrium price.

A binding price floor is set above the equilibrium price, which means that it prevents the price from falling to the equilibrium level where supply and demand would balance. As a result, the market price will be higher than the equilibrium price.
