A solution is to get more fuel efficient vehicles but that will probably never happen.

It's kind of sad, but if we could all drive tanks to work we probably would, even though they get 40 liters/hundred. Gas companies have a lot of influence over the auto industry.
I think the other factor is there are really no substitutes or easy changes. It's not like we can move from gas to solar to propane kind of thing easily, and it's basically an oligopoly complete with the game theory issues that come with it.
