Who said anything about limiting choices? Your SUV may still be available if the market is there.

What needs to be done is the creation of incentives to purchase fuel efficient cars even in times of cheap gas. Not sure if it's a subsidy or tax rebate but that is the only way the market would do a full on move to efficiency in a time of cheap gas.
I might also suggest adding the gas guzzler tax to large SUVs and trucks not used for commercial purposes. It's not fair that a recreational BMW M3 that gets 18 MPG pays a gas guzzler tax when the jerk next to him at the stoplight commutes in an f150 with 32 inch tires. This is coming from someone that likes trucks.
