According to an AP report, in an effort to meet tougher 2010 federal ozone standards deadlines, planners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are proposing some restrictions on drivers. Most of the restrictions are based on making driving more expensive, restricting driving during peak traffic times and encouraging use of fuel-efficient vehicles.

One recommendation made includes the imposition of a one-time fee based on a new car's fuel efficiency. The new fee may be as high as $300 for a new SUV, but none for a hybrid.

Considering the cost of a new SUV, the addition of $300 to the price tag may not derail many purchasers from buying.
