#1 Yep. Those cars that emit the most CO2 should be paid the most subsidy. After all they are feeding plants the most! This externality from farmers should be taxed for the benefit of the drivers of vehicles.

#2 Our family has a 1972 Malibu with a built-up small bock, 850 cfm carb, Flow-Tech headers and 3" dual exhaust. We also have a 1985 1-Ton 'Dually' with a 512 Big Block, Hooker headers, double-twin 2-1/2" exhaust and 800 cfm carb. Both can do the 1/4 in around 12-13 seconds (or a bit under for the '72 - yes, it has a 'cage'). We can drive both on the streets legally.

These would be 'negative score' vehicles. CO2 subsidies would do us rather well.

(Yes, on a 'run' you can see the fuel gauge move)

#3 The labeling law forces cars for sale to display a global warming score

This will be funny as hell during the coming mini ice age.
