The rich can buy electric or newer more efficient Cars. The poor generally drive 20 year old cars

Cars are far from the only thing that is impacted by increasing petroleum prices.

Literally every product in your house (including in your pantry) was moved by a diesel powered truck at some point. Most of it was also moved by a diesel powered train as well. And a petroleum fueled cargo ship.
