I think the saying is if you are getting over 17 mpg you are doing it wrong.....

You can thank the federal government and their infinite wisdom. So you buy a car and pay it or buy a truck which is exempt.

It's bad enough to have to pay a gas guzzler tax. But what really irks me is, because it's part of the MSRP, I get to pay sales tax, on a gas guzzler tax.

i asked about the sales tax on the GG tax when I purchased my 2012 ZL1. The sales manager said you had to pay it. Doesn't make any sense to tax a tax.

So where exactly is this tax money sent?

“While the EPA determines application of the Gas Guzzler Tax, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collects revenues. The tax is paid by a given vehicle’s manufacturer, though the cost is generally passed along to consumers as a line item on the window sticker.”

Noticed your cruise control locked in at 79 mph. You are under arrest

And 25 mpg? Really, now? Downhill with a tailwind?

I drove home briskly last night under the cover of darkness on a very smooth and open stretch of highway. 20 miles and I burned just under a 1/4 tank. This car deserves a gas guzzler tax when used as intended and I gladly paid such tax.
