Improved auto efficiency = no hard long-lasting crash?

I'm trying to make sure I don't have peak oil blinders on and refuse to consider things that may lead to a soft landing/gradual transition. I think it's easy with this issue to get caught up in being so sure we're right and others don't know what's coming...so thinking about how improved fuel economy may lead to a gradual transition or soft landing...
Someone pointed out to me that our automobile fleet, within a decade or two, could become MUCH more fuel efficient. Just look at fuel efficiency in some parts of the world with much higher energy prices and our fuel economy could easily triple.
Might this not lead to a soft landing/transition over the next decade or two?
