Tripple the gas taxes !
It will not cost you a penny !!
Why ?
Because the governments increased revenue on oil taxes can be used to reduce other taxes. Taxes on work for example.
The result will be that the average citicen will have the same amount of money in his hand, but he will have a STRONG incentive to spend less oil or gas. Take enough time and it will result in a significant reduction in your consumption.
In my country high taxes on energy is accepted because everybody understands that it is the only way to prepare for the future.
Look at other countries that have tried that, that has not worked, gas has tripled for me in the last 8 years, but I drive further, if taxes go up the only thing we will get is a bigger government and that is not the answer, alternative fuels is the answer, I don't have a problem with the oil companies, if they put a price on it and we pay it then its not their problem it's mine for being to damn dependent on it in the first place.
