There is already usage based pricing on cars, and that is through the fuel
taxes already in place.
A less efficient car stuck in traffic will end up paying a higher usage
through the increased fuel consumption.
You have to be careful with that kind of project shrouded in greeness
which only end up being a tax grab.
