For individuals that choose carfree for pure economic reasons, its obvious.

For individuals who choose carfree as lifestyle regardless of economics, its a little less obvious:

• You may see low energy prices raise consumer confidence, increasing investment in some employment sectors, etc.
• You may find a great new job, only to lose it if the low prices are temporary.
• You might see Hummer sales pick up again at $1.15/gallon, which indirectly affects your safety and the environment's.
• You might see the tolerance for cyclists diminish with the "cheap" fuel available (i.e. "gas is cheap again, why don't you just drive?").
• You might see municipal investment in pulic transit systems decline, or be delayed.
• You might see exurban sprawl gain momentum, taking money away from the cites and beginning a cycle of decay.
• You might find that you need to travel to these exurbs for your job, which assumes you provide your own rapid transit.
• You might see lipservice energy policies that keep the masses content, while oil profiteering continues.

Those are a few I can think of.
