What is a Gas Guzzler Tax?
Answer:
This tax is added to the price of new cars with a heavy
appetite for fuel and is paid by the buyer. The gas guzzler tax applies to cars with a combined highway and city MPG rating of less than 22.5.

The penalty starts at $1,000 and goes up to $7,700 as fuel consumption increases.

The gas guzzler tax applies only to passenger cars; SUVs and trucks are exempt. Most gas guzzlers are high-performance cars such as the Dodge Viper, Chevrolet Corvette, and 12-cylinder models from Mercedes, Jaguar, and Mercedes. The vast majority of mainstream cars are exempt.
