      Fuel efficiency requirements should be completely detached from vehicle size honestly…just tax the crap out of the less efficient vehicles regardless of their size.

        “But that would hurt businesses who rely on these vehicles to get work done!”

        -idiots forgetting that no work will get done if our planet becomes uninhabitable

      That was an interesting read. I’m from Europe and unfortunately the trend of bigger and bigger cars has made it’s way here too. Not as much as in the US but still. It really encroaches on both space of pedestrians and cyclists when a dozen of them are parked in a narrow alley/street. Also makes it very hard to see children weaving through the gaps. I think consumer vehicles that are too big should simply be zoned out in inner cities where space is limited as is. Every year the cars grow bigger but the streets stay the same.
