A larger vehicle full of passengers is often more efficient than a smaller one. Are we going to regulate minimum passengers per vehicle size? I'm not sure this proposal solves the intended problem in a meaningful way.

I'd rather see hefty taxes on fuel. This might yield better incentives toward urbanization, alternative transportation, and mass-transportation infrastructure.

What happens when people see the high cost of gas and switch to big electric cars instead?

Good point. Either way we wouldn't be any worse off, and we'd have cleaner air to boot.
