I've long thought about something like this. But it would take a national catastrophy for it to happen. And even then.... not in the lifetime of anyone here, I'm afraid.
But I can see displacement taxes or taxes on number of cylinders, which is much easier to implement: the VIN tells the engine type when decoded completely by manufacturer.
So where does the newly acquired tax revenue go? And should there also be higher gas taxes, like in Europe? Does that revenue go to build a rail or other public transport infrastructure?
Whatever could be done would have to be phased in to give people enough time to adjust and get out of their guzzlers into a reasonable vehicle.
There is no quick answer for the US.
