    The world governments.
    The increased prices to cause massive layoffs and all world governments.

    Apparently oil industry economists call this “demand destruction”. People will want less. If there is still lots of oil *and* lots of refinery capacity, prices may stabilize, or even go down.

    I expect civilization would not end, and if gas got to $100/gallon, it would be part of a general inflation (wages would go up too)

    If that does happen, a lot more people will be walking, riding bikes and finding other modes of transportation. Cities will be forced to become more self-sufficient, meaning that people will not have to go very far to get to their jobs or to the store. Hey, there just might be a silver-lining after all.

    I imagine that if such a thing happen, the economy would collapse, but I could be wrong. I do know that people would find a way to adapt and keep on going. It’s what we do, what we’ve always done. It wouldn’t be the first time a superpower collapsed. Remember Rome? The collapse was so great that it set off the Dark Ages. But people continued to live. They adapted, made do. And eventually, things got better. I think that history is cyclic, not linear. Everything that is happening now, has happened before.

    The increase in oil prices is a burden and even I am feeling the pinch which is laughable because I can’t drive and don’t own a car! (It has caused the price of food, electricity and bus fare to go up, so I am still affected.) But it will not end the world and it will not end civilization. Human beings are remarkably adaptable and do well in times of adversity.

    The prices get to high people will reduce demand and that will reduce demand and that will take your mind.
    The prices get to high people will reduce demand and that will take course in economics in economics in free market economy it that will lower prices just like magic take course in economics in economics in economics in economics in economics in free market economy it that will lower prices just like.
