Now that's actually a proposal that makes a lot of sense and would be quite easy to implement (even if it appears totally unfeasible today politically speaking...).

I find myself really annoyed to see ads today for Lexus' huge hybrids, with 3.5 liter or bigger engines. They're not saving any fuel. Just packing more power or more kilos onto existing cars, thus working agaisnt solving the problem.

How about 6.1 liters?

And how about 8.0 litre?

Fuck. That 6.1 liter Lexus is obscene.

I can feel disgustingly smug about this because my daily commute takes me from the bedroom to the spare bedroom via the kitchen and landing.

I've lost jobs through refusing to commute. Aside from the CO2, wasting two to four hours a day isn't an acceptable way to spend my time.

That's a Chrysler 300, you ignorant fool!
