Germany did 1, and… as a non-car driver, I'm not a fan.

It's a tricky problem, but really, in the long run, we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, not subsidize people who use it heavily. (Yes, I recognize a lot of people don't have the privilege of choice here.)

Like, if you really want to help people, don't do it for gas in particular; instead just give a general-purpose "transportation credit" to people. They can use it for gas, or to repair their bike, or to help pay for a monthly public transport ticket, etc.
