If it is cheaper to use a good, many people will use more of it.

If we really want cars to use the least amount of energy possible, the price of fuel needs to go up. I don’t think there is any real alternative. A steep rise in the gas tax is one of the only new taxes I support. If the peak oil folks are right, the tax will be temporary anyway.
