Right,

so we have 3 main options..

1. Increase fuel prices til its too expensive to have a guzzler

2. Increase insurance so that its too expensive to own a Guzzler

3. Support and promote manufacturers working HEAVILY towards an ECO lineup of models.

Is there scope for adding a 4th? e.g. minor behavioural change?
