Yes, the choices you make are based on price incentives. Increasing your tax return doesn’t change the amount you drive. Increasing the price of gas could change the amount you drive even if there is corresponding increase in the tax rebate.
Human behaviour is sticky rather than rational so it isn’t linear for sure.
