There is no shortage of used cars. In fact the United States generates so many used cars that we export used cars. Go to South America and you will find the roads choked with used cars from the United States. This will have no impact on the availability of used cars. Only on the availability of the extremely old used cars. Hell most of these cars being seized weren't even going to be sold as used vehicles. They were going to be recycled for parts, because that is where they would have been most profitable.

That is an extreme poor point of view. The reality is that the infrastructure of the United States is based upon personal transport. The middle class and the working poor simply have little control over what is available, and would be in serious financial trouble if the price was to go that high. They simply couldn't afford to work, and frankly they couldn't afford to eat either. With gas prices being that high the agricultural system would simply collapse. First due to excessive transport costs, and secondly due to biomass fuels becoming comparatively cheap. We would basically convert all our grain crops to ethanol production.

I am a fairly pragmatic person, but your wish is one for a global Apocalypse. The United States is one of the largest agricultural producers on the planet. Her crops feed far more then her own population, and while the American people have arable land enough to sustain themselves. In other words we have enough good land near by to grow gardens. I have a small orchard out behind my home personally. The Europeans would be hard pressed fairly fast.

I will tell you this the European nations no matter how progressive will start raiding the third world for food stock. They simply aren't going to let their populations starve. I hate the use of gasoline as a fuel as much as the next guy, but I am not so ruthless to wish pain upon others to make that happen. You do not spite yourself to spite something else.
