There's a risk that by waving a red flag in front of the public by saying we're going to have huge price spikes, we could end up exacerbating the problem by having runs on service stations, which would create run-outs, which would cause more panic, and that wouldn't be effective for anybody.
On court le risque, en alarmant la population et en disant que les prix vont grimper en flèche, d'exacerber le problème en créant des ruées sur les stations-service, qui finiront par manquer d'essence, ce qui entraînera plus de panique et ne serait pas efficace pour qui que ce soit.
