Challenge Earlier oil shock

Suggest ways in which oil prices might have been greatly increase between say 1945 and 1955.

Is there any chance that this could have resulted in more effort being put into mass transportation rather than interstates in the US and motorways in the UK.

Might air travel only be used for distances of say more than 1 000 miles?
 
Problem is, American oil didnt peak until the 1960s (69, I believe), and the US was on decent terms with just about all of the major foreign oil producers.

now, an earlier american peak oil might be a way to start...
