You didn't think of that tax thingy, did you? Well, thats what crack might have done to you sweetie. Consumption taxes would solve lots of problems.

What if, instead of raising the gas tax (or just raising the gas tax), we increased the gas guzzler tax? So that the sticker price on your SUV would rise, say, $6,000? ($12,000 if it's a Hummer)
A nice alternative to the CAFE standards, in my view.
