In my view, if we want MPGs to go up, then fuel prices must increase via taxation.

Had EPA not been so lenient when it comes to light-duty trucks and SUVs as it used to be, leading the Big Three to settle in a comfort zone instead of looking out to improve their drivetrain tech, I'm sure fuel price increases via taxation wouldn't be needed to force MPGs to go up.
