You misunderestimate the stubbornness of Americans -- both the people and the governments. Smaller vehicles? Probably, but that's compared to Suburbans, Navigators, and Explorers. But the nasty high-mileage diesels Europeans like? Not likely, particularly since diesel prices shoot through the roof in winter. The SMART and similar cars? There the stubbornness of the government comes into effect.
As for alternative fuels, I've been hearing about most of the since the 70's, and nothing has come of them. I won't believe in them until they are benchmarks on the commodities exchanges.
