The only problem is, how are you going to charge someone for driving x amount of miles in a civic and is the person with a Navigator going to get charged the same for the same miles? Best way is to raise gas prices through the roof, then people will drive less and if they have to drive far to work and back then they will chose a fuel efficient car or carpool/bus
Yes but quickly raising gas prices will cripple logistics and small business. At the end the raise in gas will at the end come out of your pocket through higher cost of just about any goods, it doesn't seem like a solution.

I agree with Old Mechanic that a tax break for commercial vehicles is the key.
