As I've mentioned before, some people REQUIRE gas-guzzling transportation. This is an extremely complex issue and I don't believe a simple across-the-board tax is the answer in any form or fashion. Some industries and careers require 4x4 and towing capabilities, the ability to haul tons of people and/or cargo, and a tax would be an undue burden. Recreational use of gas-guzzlers is an entirely different story, but one could use the "America is a free country" trump card for that argument, as well. If I worked in a city, only drove on the highway, and only needed a vehicle to get myself from point A to point B safely and reliably, then a fuel-efficient econo-car for myself and a gas tax for everybody else would seem like a tremendously plain and simple idea...hardly realistic, though. Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
