Isn't there already as gas-guzzler tax?




Yes, but it's a tax on cars that get less than 11mpg IIRC



I dont recall the gas guzzler tax bing on MPG that low. The cut off is somewhere in the sub 20 MPG range though. I recall seeing a Mercedes 600SEL in a Merc dealership in Calip with 19MPG and it had the gas suzzler tax on the window sticker. Dealers/car buyers can also get around the gas guzzler and luxury taxes by using leases instead of selling the car outright. Then they resell the car and since it is used, no gas guzzler tax and no luxury tax.

The important part is that trucks are exempt from the gas guzzler tax and SUV's are trucks.
