They will just drive up cost substantially on those products.
Well, plastic, brake fluid and tires can at least be recycled into other products, but I'm willing to bet that if we weaned ourselves completely off fossil fuels, there's be plenty of oil reserves in the US to meet our plastic, brake fluid and tire needs for a VERY long time.
