#Hawaii does something very smart that may help curb the proliferation of monster #trucks and #SUVs: Vehicle registration fees are based mainly on the car's weight, and the rate per pound goes up with higher weight. So the owner of a smallish, 3,500 pound car pays 1.75 cents per pound while an owner of a 9000 pound Hummer pays 2.25 cents per pound. More of this, please.
