What you are proposing is like wanting higher prices at tarbucks, so that the lines (waits) are shorter.
Further raising, the already high fuel prices, w/ a massive tax-hike, will make driving a luxury only for those with money.
To paraphrase a common Lib line; your scheme disproportionately burdens the poor.
As was said earlier, if you want to encourage more efficient vehicles, then simply push those standards.
Oil is the grease that keeps this economy moving. Throwing in a huge tax-addative would be a huge mistake.
