Answer to Question 1

No, the U.S. government had failed to control the petroleum prices in the world market. This was mainly on account of the country's continued dependence on oil imports. Even when the country became self sufficient in petroleum, higher world prices induced the U.S. producers to export oil which drove up the domestic petroleum prices once again.

Answer to Question 2

False
