A side note is that a very nice fixed gear can cost well under $1000, while a very nice geared road bike, will cost more than that. For me personally, a fixed gear is a good choice for max efficiency, especially when also considering the effect on my wallet.

It does seem to be a trade off, comfort comes at the cost of efficiency, maybe even more so on a bike than in a car.
