Actually I seriously doubt this would work. Matter of fact, back in the early 80s when the gasoline crisis was taking place, the solution to the long lines at the gas stations was to require a MINIMUM purchase to stop people from pulling in to only guy a couple of gallons to top off their tanks at every opportunity. And the only reason that worked is because the gas stations made it mandatory. In other words, if you only got two gallons of gas, you STILL paid $10 (that was back when gasoline was something like 70 cents per gallon). If it had required the voluntary compliance of the population, it most certainly would have failed.
