what would [pynchon] drive?

An extra tax on Hummers? No, quite the contrary. They get a 75k tax break the first year! See:

Bush's newly proposed economic stimulus plan makes the purchase of a heavy SUV even more lucrative. His plan raises the deduction cap to $75,000 for small businesses, while retaining all other aspects of the old tax cut. This will make any luxury vehicles priced under $75,000 completely deductible in the first year, while making a $106,000 Hummer H1 a ridiculous value. Under this plan, small businesses would be able to deduct up to $88,000 of a Hummer H1 in the first year.

Hummers, especially the first ones, epitomize conspicuous consumption.  The
first ones combined outrageously cost with very little comfort, displaying an
owner who must have more money than sense.  Tne H2's look a little more
comfortable.  But if a vehicle should ever be charged a extra tax with each
fill-up the Hummer would qualify hands down.
