I don't think this will work. People who want to drive these vehicles will just register them somewhere other than DC.

- 0x53 4y agoDon't you need to prove residence to register the vehicle?

- kube-system 4y agoYes, you must be a DC resident to register a vehicle in DC. https://dmv.dc.gov/node/1118861 https://dmv.dc.gov/node/1118861 Even if you didn't, nobody would want to register a vehicle in DC unless you absolutely have to. It is not cheap or convenient.
- munk-a 4y agoAnd given that most of "DC" is actually just Arlington - this cost increase is going to have a minimal effect on heavy weight cars... especially since I'd assume a higher proportion of people owning these cars would be frou-frou suburbanites that likely don't reside in DC proper anyways.

- meragrin_ 4y agoWhy would they even bother with that? The extra money each year is basically a fill up or 2. If $100 gas pump trips don't dissuade them, why would a measly $175 a year?
- kube-system 4y agoA new F250 has a 34 or 48 gallon tank. Gas in the middle of DC is about $5. That's $170-$240 per tank.
