'Something'; will be done...the piplines will be repaired, opened and gas will be in full supply again...and the price will drop. Not as much as it should, but it will come down. Mad Max remains a fictional character, as does the post-apocalypse world he lived in. For now, anyway.
The price won't come down much because the goverment will think "Gee...if they can buy gas at $3/gallon then certainly we can keep it there". Gas will never go below $2/gallon again and the "Mad Max" scene won't be too far in the distant future.
