The Maryland General Assembly may revive a proposed gas guzzler law to reward cars with high fuel efficiency and tax those with low mpg. A 1994 effective date was proposed with credits for high mpg and taxes for low mpg, capped at 1 percent of car price. Baltimore officials cited Clean Air Act health needs amid ozone concerns.
