With a short commute and 60mpg, I'm already prepared for the end of cheap oil. That's despite my car being ten year old technology. There are here who drive 20 year old Metros or Civics and get as good of mileage as I do.

SUV's and personal use pickups will at some point become prohibitively expensive, and they'll be sold for cheap to people who actually use them as work trucks or scrap metal.

If we don't find cheap transportation alternatives, then people may need to move out of the suburbs and back in to cities. I'd be happy to see McMansions plowed under, and the outer suburbs returned to farmland.
