Default 997.2 GT3 Gas Guzzler Tax

The bad news.....

The Energy Tax Act of 1978 established a Gas Guzzler Tax on the sale of any new passenger car whose fuel economy fails to meet a 22.5 mpg standard.

The model year 2010 911 GT3's official fuel economy for gas guzzler tax purposes is 21.7 mpg. Thus the GT3 will be subject to a gas guzzler tax of $1,300.00.

True. I was a little surprised when it showed up on the order estimate from my dealer today.
