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.
