Travel restriction for license plates ending in even, odd number/letter per day.
Keep fuel price high, limit 200 L of fuel per month per person.
No limits for cars with a < 1 L engine.

Too complicated and will piss people off. The real answer is to have the cost absorbed by the energy companies first until they run out of profits. THEN we can look at it hitting people directly.

Alternatively have you considered letting energy companies offset the price entierly to the consumer and then also giving them a tax rebate once the crisis is over to account for the increase in costs that they didn't even pay themselves?
