During the worst days with that 30L gas rationing, retail gas prices definitely remained steady during the rationing period. But it wasn't clear to me what the gov actually did to cause prices to hold still. Was it just a matter of arbitrarily reducing demand? Or was there something else that I am not aware of?

They put in rules restricting gas stations from actually raising prices. Maybe we'll get something like that again...
I don't know, it is tough. What is an effective policy we could realistically implement to reduce gas prices when crude is traded in a global market?
