I believe the government should increase yearly registration costs exponentially based on lower MPG.
If you get 10-18 MPG... you must pay 10 times the registration fee that a 40-50 MPG hybird pays.

- uluyol 4y agoThere is an environment cost to manufacturing a car, any car. Sure in the long term, more efficient is better is better for the environment, but you want to amortize the harmful costs of manufacturing (and discarding) cars by getting as much use as possible. In other words, a policy like this would require a fair bit of balance (make sure cars stay on the road for long enough), otherwise it risks increasing pollution.
