MPG - Gas guzzler tax?
I am not looking forward to paying over $28,000. Why should it be over $30,000 with changes from the euro/japanese spec car? It'll cost even more money just to get it to the "proper" spec.
If it gets to be over $30,000 **** it. It'll just work on importing a used 6 or 7. So I can drive what I should be driving.
I know I shouldn't believe all the rumors but it's hard not to. I know I am personally not looking forward to the Evo8. I like the 7 too much.
Anyways, where I live most "teenieboopers" would rather just buy a used civic and built it up. I hardly ever hear about kids with cars more expensive than a new eclipse. So I personally don't think they'll touch anything over $26,000. And if they do it'll be a domestic car (mustang, camero, etc...)

Guys. Just wondering on your thoughts.
There have been thread before about [my own wording]
1. we don't care about MPG because this is a sports car.
2. we need the EVO to be under $30k or forget it.
Here is one question that no one asked.
If it is say $29,995 as a total package, would you still take it?
I mean before the gas guzzler tax....
So let's assumed it is 20MPG average. That is another $1700 to account for.
Here is the list for gas guzzler tax.
=============================
GAS GUZZLER TAX
Unadjusted MPG(combined)* Tax
at least 22.5 No tax
at least 21.5, but less than 22.5 $1000
at least 20.5, but less than 21.5 $1300
at least 19.5, but less than 20.5 $1700
at least 18.5, but less than 19.5 $2100
at least 17.5, but less than 18.5 $2600
at least 16.5, but less than 17.5 $3000
at least 15.5, but less than 16.5 $3700
at least 14.5, but less than 15.5 $4500
at least 13.5, but less than 14.5 $5400
at least 12.5, but less than 13.5 $6400
less than 12.5 $7700
* The combined fuel economy MPG value (55 % city, 45 % highway) is used to determine tax liability. The MPG value is also adjusted slightly to account for differences in test procedures made since the base year. The MPG value is not adjusted for in-use short fall. The unadjusted combined MPG of a vehicle can be approximated from the city and highway values provided in the Fuel Economy Guide and by the following equation:
(1/(.495/city MPG + .351/highway MPG))+.15
Since this is an approximate calculation, the actual gas guzzler tax may be off by one tax bracket.

What is the Evo's gas mileage? I read it can be as high as 27mpg. If the car is not being driven hard I am sure it can easily do 22+mpg?
