I don't see what is going to stop the continued growth of the suburbs at least for the forseeable future. Gasoline prices have not risen much higher than other goods over the last 30 or 40 years.

People are still going to want detachable houses with yards and some space as well as to get out of the city because of the crime and better schools, etc... Even if gasoline gets very expensive, alternatives will be developed.
