What is wrong with "dumping" a bunch of fuel efficient econo cars into the marketplace? If someone values that ability to get 40 mpg or maybe can't afford to drive something with more power and "features", what is the problem with that?
Total emmisions are total emmisions so why interfere with someone's personal choice of transportation when you don't have to?
If you want to improve fuel economy why not tighten CAFE standards at the macro level and leave the individual unrestriced choice? Does the simple existance of someone driving a large SUV bother you that much that you feel the need to impose your will upon others?
Both emissions and freedom of choice are valuable and it isn't necessary to sacrifice one for the other.
If I have 2 children, adopt 4 more, and need to drive a full size van to church on Sunday should I be taxed extra? Or maybe you think full size vans shouldn't exist? Maybe you could create a Board of Approval for me to appear-before and issue me a special gas guzzler permit?
