So should we impose a gas tax on Vans? Motor homes? Dual-tank
pickup trucks? 18-wheelers?? Dump Trucks? or hell even moving trucks?
All the way down to the U-Hal trucks.
Where is the logic behind that? Again that would be basically trying
to strong arm someone in buying a car and as was mentioned before forcing
a person to make more trips than needed. Thus spending more $$ to purchase
gas for the small cars. Then again, screwing up the environment even more.
Insurance premiums should be based on the accidents, thefts,
color, and especially the driving record for the driver(s) on
the policy.
Not the type of vehicle. Too many variables play apart in insurance
rates today as it is.

Actually the government could try to ban SUVs for safety reasons.
The same reason why the Porche Roadster and F1 cars are not street
legal.
The better way is to a) allow insurance companies to charge more
premiums
for SUVs and b) establish a SUV gas tax.
I'm sure this will lead to a more broad definition of SUV and Tony Weeg
can
legitimately call his Xterra an SUV.
