It will never work. You can never get everyone together on this at the same time. Best thing everyone can do is drive there diesel far less and use the car more. I think most of us have gasser car, which may be more economical. If you don't have a smaller economical car, maybe it's time to start looking for one. Back in '83 I was driving a '69 Pontiac Bonneville, with a 400 high compression engine, I was getting 11 mpg on premium. I purchased a '79 Honda Accord, (4 years old, paid $4000. 00) which was a small car with a 1. 8 litter 4 cylinder engine. I was getting 24 mpg around town. I was saving $60. 00 a month on gasoline, which was half the car payment on the Honda. The Honda paid for itself in 5 1/2 years in just the savings in gas. Plus I saved money on maintenance and tires. The Honda required very little maintenance and tires were 1/3 the cost.
YUP - it's all about controlling the masses - the wolves herding the sheep...
Harder to control and police a society scattered in widely separated areas - lets "persuade" them to migrate to larger population centers for better monitoring and control - make moving around harder and more regulated...
As a society, we, in past decades, have enjoyed the freedom this country was founded upon - and until more recent times also enjoyed the ability of free travel and choice of places to live.
The Socialist countries envied our liberties and freedoms - and the lifestyles that came with them - even as THEY enjoyed many of the fruits and grains our country also produced as a direct result of those basic freedoms.
The Liberal Socialists have LONG been involved in attempting to make US here in the USA more like what we see in the countries many HERE came to escape - and the steady pressure to increase fuel costs is only ONE of those!
SO, instead of the free choice of transportation, and in many cases the related pressure to relocated closer to population centers to reduce transportation costs, we now see many abandoning driving vehicles they earlier enjoyed and paid good $$$ for - and parking them in the garage as they buy some econobox to bend to the force of outside pressure - just like good sheeple should...
Where will it end - and how MUCH external control by government, EPA, Big Oil, Sierra Club, the UN, and MANY others will we tolerate?
This certainly is NOT the USA of earlier decades - and MOST of the changes were due to profit-based agendas developed in smoky back rooms, NOT out of necessity or "compassion" for society or saving the planet!
