Let fuel prices rise to a realistic level. Make them primarily business vehicles. Push for heavy duty hybrids and full electrics. Fines and annual fees for fuel system mods which decrease fuel mileage.

Mind you, I doubt these would go down well. I am not your normal truck guy, at all.

yeah, another option in the case of gas would apparently be EPA regulations, because they're terrible, apparently.
