Sadly getting those who cause the most damage and usually could care less about fuel costs to pay anything is near impossible in our current environment.
An added benefit would be normalizing fuel prices somewhat, so I can’t buy $0.99 fuel half the summer, which apparently most Americans figure is the only price they should pay for fuel and that the expensive $4.50 diesel I had to buy 3 & 4 presidents ago was just my imagination and not anyones fault.
