Without looking into it too deeply, I would guess your /var/cache is previously viewed webpages. And it's the only thing that is really causing you grief in /var... The rest consumes a trival amount.
So just do a "rm -rf /var/cache" to wipe it out.
You can make this command an alias and/or add it to your startup script or even a regularly occuring cron action if you like.
I wouldn't do that, as it would wipe out directories like those being used by alchemist or samba. I would take a look at /var/cache/yum, as it seems it could be the biggest of them.
