Isn't this the best way to socially engineer conservation? If cars, including SUV's, don't get a minimum of X-miles-per-gallon, should there be a $5,000 surtax on them to discourage buying? These cars aren't made for consumption anywhere else in the world (I don't think), yet we are trying to become energy independent? Doesn't that start with the manufacturers?
