Against rigid price control for winter motoring (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antifreeze

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'winter motoring' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'against rigid price control' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'anti' (prefix meaning against).
'rigid price control' becomes 'freeze' (keeping prices the same).
'anti'+'freeze'='ANTIFREEZE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antifreeze that I've seen before include "Ethylene glycol" , "Winter radiator additive" , "Car radiator additive" , "Winter essential in engines" , "not needed for a long time in Hell?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
