Does The Government Really Care How Much Gas We Burn?

Envision that vehicle with the "cockpit" turned 180 degrees around? Engine in the rear then.
Looks better to me. It is a looker though.

The problem with that plan is that the worst offenders are those who cannot afford the tax. Those old gas guzzlers (as opposed to new gas guzzlers) are primarily purchased because that is all the buyer can afford. Taxing them would be taxing the poor. We stopped doing that long ago.

I was proposing it for "new" cars...

Talking about the engine in the rear..... the first time I saw the Elio I thought how cool it would be to have deep enough pockets to take one and put a BMW 1200cc Boxer motor in the back driving the rear wheel. Yes, I know, it would take some real engineering, oh, well....
