I wasn't even thinking of CAFE. I was thinking about used cars, and other purchasers of gasoline -- e.g., buses. I didn't think that you were proposing that used cars be taxed to encourage fuel efficiency, although there's no reason we can't do that too. If you think that there are externalities not captured in the cost of gasoline, then even relatively efficient users, like mass transit, should pay more.
