The rationing is necessary because they have price controls and subsidies.

Subsidies do not cause rationing.....lack of refinery output does.


Lower output only causes rationing if you don't allow prices to adjust, thus its reasonable to say subsidies and price controls cause rationing (or cause people to think that its needed)
