> U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered a 60-day freeze on prices for all groceries and for gasoline, to be increased to no more than the price they were on June 8. The measures were the last under "Phase III" of his price control measures authorized under the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970. Prices were allowed to rise again at 12:01 a.m. on August 13 with the beginning of "Phase IV".[54][55]
This kinda flies in the face of 'biden/trump/obama can't control the price of gasoline' doesn't it?
