I would wish the same except in reverse, for government to put a 50% tax on fuel and spend that money on public transport and bicycle paths... I believe the city of Vancouver is kind of doing that for the last few years, (10% ?) as of yesterday it's $1.64 per Litre of gas, that's $6.23 US gallon, $7.44 Canadian gallon.
EDIT; If I lived in Vancouver it would cost me $210. to fill up my truck, Here in PG it costs me $157... That's 33% more in Vancouver than here, and that would make me drive 33% less...
