Dear Jim,
Supply would be greater without the Iraq invasion, so prices would be lower. Supply/demand would force prices lower. It is also not the end of the world if we have to just do without cars. We existed before they were here, we will exist when they are gone.
I wish there was a way to tax gasoline heavily enough to do away with income taxes and yet raise the same revenue. With gas at five dollars per gallon and up imagine how many people would actually figure in commuting costs when they take a job. Public transportation would come into its own. People would live nearer their work. They would find other ways to amuse themselves than by burning recreational gas. But most importantly, we could be energy independent. That would mean we wouldn't need to maintain a military presence all over the globe to protect our "national" ie. oil interests.
