Answer 8

It would be hilarious (and liberating). Everyone would ride bicycles, cars would get really cheap, and people would sell Hummers for scrap metal. The big car companies (who are slow to catch on) will still be trying to sell giant pick-up trucks until gas hits $15 a gallon. By that time, people will use their cars as storage sheds.

Also, because of the lack of public transporation, people in some areas would string a dozen or so Ford Focuses together to make homemade trains.
