A new sedan that weighs 5,700 pounds would carry with it a maximum fee of $6.40. On the higher end, for light trucks or SUVs that weigh up between 8,500 and 9,499 pounds, the new fees would reach nearly $30. Commercial vehicles would be exempt from the measure.

That's not as much as I was expecting.

Yep, should be much more to provide incentive for purchasing smaller vehicles
