I don't think there's any one solution, because clearly there isn't. As years pass and research continues going more in depth there will arise viable long term solutions, it's jut going to take time to get there. As for paying more? Well Americans won't have much of a choice, will they? Spend more at the pump annually with more frequent trips, or making a one time investment with the purchase of a highly fuel efficient vehicle that makes fewer trips to the gas pump that's a little pricey? I know which alternative I'd opt for.
