geekpolitico writes in Legislation to reduce oil dependency a great new idea to make wasting petrol unattractive.

Add a tax, say 50c per litre, to petrol, collected when it is bought.

Pool all the money and at the end of the tax year divide it equally among the population. Those who use no petrol get a big tax bonus. Average petrol users get their tax money back. Big wasters get something back but nothing like what they paid in tax.

Super idea! Get people walking to the shops, let the lawn grow long, get people onto bikes.
