I live in the UK, I don't use my car less, in fact I have just bought a less economical car (21-22mpg).. at that rate it's about 25p per mile I think.. though paying that to commute does grate on me, I love my car, and I love driving... so for me £10 for a 50 mile blast on a Sunday is justifiable compared to the cost of other things I enjoy, such as a couple of rounds in the pub with my mate, or my Gym membership, or a take-away curry...
.. don't get me wrong the cost of fuel in the UK is horrendous, and for "a car is for getting from A to B" types it must hurt like hell.. but for those that enjoy driving, it's just part of the cost for a recreational activity.
Also, I'm not rich.. I always make sure I live close to where I work, so I always have alternatives to driving - just in case.
My last car was LPG, for those in the UK complaining about fuel prices.. buy an old LPG converted car off eBay. It DOES halve your fuel bills.
