The quickest way to achieve both objectives is for the US government to tax fuel to the same level as in Europe. Here in the UK, approx 75% of the pump price on a gallon of gasoline goes straight to government in tax. It's more still for diesel, though LPG is still pretty cheap - by comparison and about half the cost of gasoline. This now makes heavy-footing a big six Triumph around our roads a very occasional pleasure than heretofore.
