If prices of gasoline increase by 50 percent and all else is held constant (including the supply side), then the quantity of gasoline demanded would be expected to decrease. This would be the case unless demand were completely inelastic, that is to say, the demand curve were vertical, which would not be the case in the real world - people would drive less or switch to more efficient alternatives.
