It will never reach such a point. Look at the gas prices in Europe for example. They are constantly increasing and have been for a really long time. At places the gas prices are as high as 7$ a gallon. Maybe people would abandon their cars if the concept of public transportation would evolve a little further, but as it is today, people who live on the country or in the suburbs do need effective means of personal transportation.
Actually, if you take inflation and past gas prices into account, it hasn't gone up as much as people usually think. But there will reach a point when people can't afford it anymore. When it costs more to drive to work everyday then you get in your paycheck, people will quit driving. If they don't, they are stupid enough that they deserve what they get.
