This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

Not what? The emissions are not the largest part if the gas tax is 500%, but they are if the gas tax is less?

A gas tax makes the most sense because it directly addresses the supply shock from US military action in Iran, but I'd take a usage tax (they're already tracking every car anyway) or an per-axel annual tax or a tire tax.

again most sense for what? you don't seem to be following anthing from the thread itself. Is it non sequitor around the initially stuff sorta rolling back to fees around vehicles?
