[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 16234901, member: 138649"] After doing some research on the Gas Guzzler Tax I found this fun fact. The tax is based on the combined city/hwy MPG. This is rather worrisome part: "Fuel economy values are calculated before sales begin for the model year. The total amount of the tax is determined later and is based on the total number of gas guzzler vehicles that were sold that year. It is assessed after production has ended for the model year and is paid by the vehicle manufacturer or importer." So if the actual tax is less than Ford collects, does Ford pocket the difference? My guess is that if the tax is less, the buyer will never see the difference. Basically Ford is charging us a hypothetical tax that has not even been determined and won't be until the end of the model year.
