Conservatism: ideas needed

So high gas prices are in the news, and on everyone's mind, lately.
They're blamed for everything--from changes in Californian consumer habits to declines in Michigan tourism.

So you know--you just know--that there's going to be pressure placed on the government to take state action to control gas prices. You know it's coming.

How will we, as conservatives, convince the average Joe that price fixing ain't the way to go?
(Ask folks who remember World War II and the Office of Price Administration).
We need to be thinking about this. I'm not enough of us on the right are doing so.
