That was not the point, Bruce. The point was that all passenger
vehicles are going to fall within the guidelines, unlike your
imaginary street legal F-1. So, taxing by weight will be pretty fair
across the board. One of the most effective things you can do to get
better mileage is reduce weight.


Unfortunately, reducing weight goes hand in hand with increased trauma
in accidents.

WHY do you thing people have kept buying heavy vehicles?
It's not for the mileage!
