The "sin" is driving. Consuming gasoline isn't required to drive and even with a gasoline vehicle it isn't proportional to the amount of mile driven. My 15 mpg Astro Van takes up the same amount of road space as my 35 mpg VW Sportwagen.

If we don't want people to drive then charge them by the mile.
