Seriously. I'm sure those vehicles put a lot more wear and tear on the roads than my compact.

I remember when I lived in Michigan, licesning tabs were connected to the weight of the vehicle (don't know if it's that way now). But when I moved to Washington, it was by the value of the car (so a brand new compact would cost more than a 20-year old Jeep Waggoneer), until a tax nut named Tim Eyman got the bright idea that all car tabs should be $30.
