I don't think people should be punished for making a choice some others don't like or agree with. I am sure the tree huggers saying "buy a small car, SUVs suck" leave their lights on in the house and don't recycle.
I am tired of SUVs being a scapegoat. That is only a SMALL part of the problem.
We should give maybe Tax credit to those that DO buy more economical vehicles and the government should BRING BACK hybrid tax credits.
For instance, i started a thread about gas being $3.66 a gallon. Nothing is stopping me from going down to Toyota and buying a Prius or a Yaris and starting at thread here about my new car.
My choice is to drive a car that gets around 18-20 MPG for now until I want something that gets better mileage or worse. lol

I agree that rather than extra taxing on gas guzzlers, give tax credits to those that buy the most fuel efficient vehicles (perhaps those that are EPA rated at at least 33 MPG's highway).
This way you are not penalizing the freedom of choice but awarding those that help the energy and enviromental problems.

Reinforcing positive behavior is better than clobbering someone who doesn't make desired behavior. As they say, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
