I look forward to the day when an alternative is put in, in place of gasoline that will be cheaper and greener for the future of all.

Or more, the US gov't artificially suppresses the price and impact of car driving in this nation. Canada (I can't speak for Europe since I haven't been there since I was 8) uses a lot of the taxes towards infrastructure (public transit), road improvements, etc.
