That's just plain STUPID.
There are plenty of other ways to make the planet greener than taxing the daylights out of commuters. Stop trying to force the people who like cars to pay through the nose when there are far worse contributors to global warming than cars.

I agree and don't want to be taxed either...but the point is (and was proven when gas hit $4) the only thing that will impact consumer's choice is $$, not CAFE, etc., so if they wanted to force consumers into fuel eff. cars a tax is the way to go. Look what has happened now--car companies switched from big trucks after gas prices spiked quickly, but now that gas has fallen so has the demand for small fuel eff. cars (I know demand has fallen for everything, but look at the small car's numbers).
