Less people can afford to drive is a long term catalyst for making sustainable cities. A surprise, but a welcome one!
(Yes, buses and subways use gas, but not as much as 12 individual cars going to the same location)

The problem with cars is that we need them. When gas prices rise, then food prices also increase due to the elevated costs of transportation. Even if you don’t own a car, it will affect you.
As someone els mentioned, ideally you want high gas prices to incentive people to ride a bike and the cities to build more bike lanes.
