It was also a time of record petrol prices, I believe, so people may have looked at ways to cut spending. Anyway, my take is that it is not realistic or sustainable to have the State subsidise people's daily activities and this scheme was 'generous' to the point of being a PR stunt (the aim being to show how the government was helping with the cost of living). CO2 emissions should be cut systemically and sustainably.
