I don't really see privacy being the big issue here. According to your article the only information being reported is odometer readings, so they can tell how far you have gone, but not where you went and when you went there. It's not like a GPS signal reporting your every movement.

However, what is completly asinine is the increase in taxes paid by those who drive more fule efficent cars. Using this same logic they could start charging "cancer tax" to those who stop smoking as they would no longer be paying the high taxes on cigarettes.
