Or, how about going one step further, Carol, and throw in SUV gas filler plates and SUV nozzels with higher taxed fuels. And those taxes could be earmarked to pay then taxes incentives for purchasing fuel efficient cars, like the Honda fuel cell cars. Hmmmmm?

There is no need for most folks to drive SUV's. They buy them because the ad-men tell them they have to if they want to be *cool*. SUV's plute more, consume more and are have a higher incident of accidents than do passanger cars. Throw in the SUV'er *attitude* and you have a bad situation.

Hey, I think if we did what the two of us are suggesting here, CarolC, we could cut back on the entire amount of oil that we need from Iraq. Hmmmmmmm? Then we wouldn't have to go m,off and get folks killed. Hmmmm, part B?
