I believe in taxation on gas and high mileage vehicles. This is to pass onto consumers and corporations the true cost of having a fuel guzzling behemoth.
Being overly dependent on foreign oil leaves the country vulnerable, it pollutes the environment that we all share, it contributes to global warming etc etc..... time for the people who pollute to pay the true cost.
This is also fairer to people who own gas guzzling vehicles like Ferraris or older show cars. If you don't drive it, you won't pollute, and you won't be taxed as much.
If you are a farmer, or whoever needs it for your work, then you get taxed as well. You're polluting the environment just as much as the average joe in his SUV. No exemptions, no exclusions. Everyone should pay if they pollute. Nothing hits home like the bottom line. And the day that big corporations demand fuel efficient commercial vehicles to save on their fuel taxes, is the day the car companies will pay attention.
