Gas will hit $10+ a gallon....it's just a matter of when. If it happens by the end of this year, then the economy would suffer under incredibly high inflation as was the case in 1979-1981. If gas goes up in an orderly fashion over the next 5-10 years, then the economy would adjust just fine.
If you really believe that oil is going to hit $200+/bbl soon, then simply go out and buy the commodity (or an ETF such as ticker symbol USO that tracks the commodity). If you invest enough, you'll make more money than you'll burn in your car.
However, if an extra couple hundred dollars a month in gas is going to tip you over the edge....then you are already perilously close to financial ruin as it is and shouldn't be leasing your BMW in the first place.
