That's a bad idea, the higher the price of gasoline, the less we will consume. It will be painful, but in the end it will help wean the US off of oil. The less we use, the less gas will cost in the longterm future and the less likely these shock will occur in the future.
Conservation is the only answer. We simply don't have the oil, refining capacity, or the space on the roads to fit all of these cars and trucks.
