Question How expensive could gas get?

At this point rising gas prices have caused speculation that Americans will have to "change their habits", is their a visible breaking point in sight? Could gas/oil prices reach a point in the near future that would cause the relative social order to break down?

How expensive can gas become before a significant part of the population cant afford to buy enough food, public transportation systems become overwhelmed with new riders and visible social unrest occurs?

Could their be something like a "gas riot" in America?

Maybe I'm imagining a Mad Max type scenario...
