    The tax increase would encourage people to buy smaller and more fuel-efficient cars, which are increasingly seen as key to curbing global warming. The social costs of larger less-fuel efficient vehicles include not only the additional pollution, but also higher crash risks to other vehicles. However, the tax fees could penalize families and small businesses who need big cars or trucks and already pay higher fuel prices.
