What's next...taxing SUV owners yearly??? Afterall they should probably look at getting ALL SUV's off the road new or used.
Gas is a user tax that is really quite simple, the more you use, the more you pay! High consumers pay more taxes than low consumers. I stayed away from saying SUV users pay more because that's not really fair. I drive my "SUV" about 10,000km's a year, compared to a suburban commuter Civic that drives 30,000km's a year I'm using much less gas so perhaps we should tax high mileage vehicles instead? What about the fact that most of my "SUV" trips are "high occupancy" (trips camping, biking, etc.) Based on a full load of 4 people that's 2,500km's worth of gas each compared to the single comutter that put's 30,000km's by themselves...shouldn't single commuters be taxed more than? My point is where do you draw the line???
