Problem solved.

I don't think it will solve the problem for me. I use a half ton PU for work. It doesn't get 20MPG. So, I pay the higher fees and then I charge more to work on your house. YOU end up paying the premium. I just pass it on thru.
OK. That sillyness should point out rather clearly that YOU will pay for ALL of the increases as every business that depends on some form of transportion (that would be about all of them) would PASS IT ON.
So there you are, trying to solve problems by penalizing usage. Could there maybe a better way to approach these kinds of 'problems'?
