Diesel - a subsidized commodity

Diesel is a subsidized commodity. But owners of high end vehicles like, Mercedes, Audi, BMW are also getting fuel at the same rate as other vehicles. I think one way of compensating the govt/oil companies would be to collect one time fuel surcharge based on market price of diesel at the time of purchase of the vehicle or impose much higher life time road tax compared to other vehicles. People who own these vehicles will surely not mind the extra cost.
