Higher gas prices mean more people switch to bikes, public transport, EVs, or cut back on travel. They're pissed off, obviously, and their quality of life (or at least, "fun") is reduced. But they use less gas. Less demand is mathematically the same as more supply.

Starvation in the US is highly unlikely. The country's farmers produce far in excess of what's needed to feed the population. Other countries are not so lucky and they are already facing hard times.
