Why should folk pay the same fee when using a small economic car as those using a heavy gas guzzler ??
For the same reason that everyone who drinks, smokes, or dies: you pay for the use of the 'service' as a way of providing other 'services' whether you use them or not.

In the meantime those that can pay more, pay others who can tell them how to pay less. In other words, how to pay less for the same service or to avoid paying for it altogether. The principle, if you can use that word, is neither fair nor voluntary.
