Already happened in parts of Canada, during the last fuel price 'spike'. Were almost spontaneous and caught everyone by surprise.
Authorities can do little about it if 500 truckers park their rigs on a major highway and just stand around. In any case, the full effects have not yet made their way through the retail and manufacturing chain. For example, here we are still eating local produce but soon we'll be into winter imports. Retail stocks probably are just catching up now. Also consider the auto industry and its reliance on petrochemical-derived products. The automakers are pretty much on their knees already, this is the last thing they need - increased production costs coupled with sagging sales of their laughably out-of-step product rollouts.
