It wouldn't happen - it couldn't. The country is simply too big. Too dependent on trucks delivering supplies. No would be able to afford food or anything else if gas were $10 a gallon. If they even tried, environmentalism would get real unpopular real quickly. People would be drilling in their own yards to find oil.
