If you run a v8 doing 8 to the gallon you pay tax on fuel at a greater annual sum than someone with a 3cyl' runaround for the same amount of miles. That is punitive tax for being a polluter. By taxing pollution the government effectively negates personal responsibility for said pollution. You pay your penance at the pumps. Anything else is double jeopardy. It applies to aero fuel just the same.
I repeat, what are the governments doing with the money? if they are not actively negating pollution with pollution tax funds they are remiss. Simply making laws is not the same as negating the pollution that they have levied a tax on.
