consumption, not earnings.
The surcharge I propose is only on the fuel, but the income tax return is
the most reasonable way to provide the rebate. It could be on the State
level, or the federal, depending on who imposes the surcharge. It could be
both.
I think an economic means of control such as this is much more equitable
than an outright ban on SUVs, or extra taxes depending on vehicle type or
fuel economy. Let anyone buy and drive whatever they want, but penalize
them only if they exceed reasonable consumption, and reward them if they
conserve.
