..you're arguing that being more efficient is bad?

Only in some bizarre Through The Looking Glass intentional misinterpretation of everything I have ever written in my life on the subject of transportation.

I wasn't aware that "tax incentives" weren't public money?

Perhaps my point would be harder to misunderstand if I had used the term "tax penalties", but I was trying to use diplomatic language.

Does that mean oil subsidies aren't public money?

That's a different subject, but for the record I am generally opposed to oil subsidies. I'd like to see the price of oil-derived products rise naturally to the point where it offsets the real cost of producing them.

What you are proposing doesn't address the full picture: the economy, jobs, infratructure, etc.

I haven't proposed anything here other than forcing vehicle manufacturers to make more efficient vehicles, and you can add ending oil subsidies if you insist.
