SUVs are the bane of human existence and should be burned. I may remind you that a car with better fuel efficiency is not green, just less black. Green cars pretty much don’t exist, and would imply solely powered off of biofuels produced in a renewable manner or EVs recharged off of renewable electricity. Either subsidies for more fuel efficient cars, taxes on gas guzzlers, or maybe forcing up the price of gas with taxes so that it becomes more of an incentive to bike or get a really efficient car and drive less can’t hurt.

How about someone who has a gas guzzler for justifiable reasons, a business for instance? Should they be penalised too, when they use the vehicle for personal use, or should they go out and get a second vehicle?
Just playing devil’s advocate! It’s a really tough one to make fair to all.
In short, yes. I’m in the US. Gas is cheap. It shouldn’t be that way.
No matter the justification, releasing carbon is bad.

I do think it’s a good idea and could make a pretty decent impact in big cities where commuters have to pay to park almost all the time. If they were wavering on getting a green car anyhow then an initiative like this may just provide the tipping point.

Perhaps if it were done another way it would be better. While I like the idea, it does seem to be unfair on those who can’t afford a more fuel efficient vehicle too.
I don’t know if the UK currently offers any reductions in your road tax you have to buy for fuel efficiency, but I think that would be easy to implement.
When a car was being registered or renewing their tax disc, the office would be able to tell by make and model if it was a fuel efficient one or not and make the necessary adjustments to apply a discounted rate.
