this is crazy. We want people to buy fuel efficient cars right? Because we really must stop polluting so much. But we are saying that people buying fuel efficient cars is the reason for the tax? This basically boils down to punishing people for doing the right thing. Plus, I really don't want to see people's movements being tracked. It stinks of big brother. Also, the inequalities here are outrageous. This would really hurt folks who are rural, or drive for a living. Way too many problems with this idea.
