From autobloggreen:UK committee says fuel prices must stay high to force drivers into efficient carsApparently the committee never considered the alternative consequence of keeping petrol prices artificially high will be for the long-suffering people to chuck the committee and anyone in government who supports them out on their collectivist ears.

That's why they also have to get rid of that pesky democracy thing as soon as possible. Can't have the proles trying to determine their own fate and over rule the decisions of their betters now can we?
That is the Japanese solution actually. They too keep the fuel price artificially high for the precise reason.
Another Japanese solution is to require unnecessary, tedious, expensive and overly strict inspections annually.
The result is that few Japanese cars are older than 7 years. What a marvellous way to promote domestic automotive industry!
