I agree with part of what Vince said...

Yes, why do people own cars that have 3 litres and larger engines? Why do people drive cars that do over 150 MPH when the national speed limit is 70?

However, let us spare a thought for folk who do not live in the centre of London which, is the vast majority of people of whom, a car is a necessity rather than a luxury. We simply cannot afford to travel by public transport and if fuel doubles in price, it will still be cheaper by car. If you have one passenger, the price is halved and with a full car, your price is quartered. Four people travelling from London to Cornwall by train will cost £400 but by car, it works out to about £30 to £40 and the car makes door to door service. There is no contest, you cannot uninvent the car or people's freedom.
