Taxing fuel consumption is the wealthy nations is the way to go unless you want overconsumption .

Didn't know that about Norway. I have to take it into account if I want to visit (actually I might not visit, then). The price here is about 1$/liter for gasoline and 90 cents for diesel (counting the exchange rate of course). If prices go up to 3$/a liter, I'll buy a horse. I might be wrong with the exchange estimate then.
That gives me an idea of what our future might be. I'll be dreaming about guillotines again. Time for a free shaving ("on rase gratis")
