...to wit: EPA declares a "gas guzzler" tax on vehicles that don't meet certain MPG ratings, but continues to let them be SOLD to the public, without regard to the fact that any idiot can "drive" a 50 MPG rated vehicle in wanton ways & manners so that it'll have LESS MPG than the "gas guzzler" vehicle, and do so without incurring legal or moral wrath.

...I think the analogy is, instead of CAVEAT EMPTOR "...let the BUYER beware..." it should be CAVEAT PUBLICUS "...let the PUBLIC beware..."
