Gasoline market

D. higher equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity

Car market

A. higher equilibrium prices and lower equilibrium quantity

Explanation:

As the demand supplies decreases, the equilibrium quantity will decrease while the price increase Assuming everything else remains constant.

The car market from which gasoline plays a lead cost of the automobile industry will also suffer a decrease in the supply as higher input cost makes the price go up.

Higher input cost makes supply decrease as well.

Also the demand for car will decreaase as the maintenance cost associate with a car may decrease the demand

This will defenetively decrease the quatity and make the price go up.
