We have those, they are a blunt instrument.
The issue here is that the 'urban wealthy' with Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes will happily pay what is charged whilst doing mid-teen MPGs. My boss had a supercharged RR and he used as much fuel travelling to work for one day as I did in a week.
At the same time the 'rural poor' who rely on their vehicles to get around as there is little or no public transport where they live also have to suffer. These people also are those that need 4x4s and the like but can usually only afford older and less efficient ones.
In the meantime of course, those with RRs NEVER go off road, never tow etc.
