Of course, you could pay high road taxes AND high fuel taxes like us Brits. 
whinge, whinge, etc, etc
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Americans should not fear high fuel prices and the effect they would have on your economy. People will just spend a higher proportion of their income on gas rather than food, for example; no-one would give up their precious car. Additional transport costs are just absorbed. However, it hopefully might make more people think twice about the journey they are about to take.
It is because of these people's pure selfishness why I believe we will all end up driving effective & easy to use electric or fuel cell cars within the next 15 years because they will demand them to replace their gas guzzlers, rather than walk!
