Problem is that the people who drive the most are most likely to be the poorest. The burger fryers and housekeepers live the farthest especially in high value real estate markets like LA.

If you want to decrease the amount of fuel used, increase things like mileage requirements for cars. You could also make the req'ments address more emissions issues.
