You got a source for this? I believe it’s probably roughly true but I haven’t read those figures and would absolutely love to see more.

A gallon of gasoline emits 20lbs of co2 when burnt (most of the weight is in the o2, so the emissions are heavier than the gasoline). Divide the per ton prices by 100 to convert to per gallon of gas, and you get $0.50-$2.00. The existence of the tax would ensure they all had enough revenue to scale; fund them all initially, then let economics pick the winner.
