hmm so if the new GTO is subject to a $3000 tax then it too must be averaging between 16.5 and 17.5 MPG ... and since that's calculated using 55% city and 45% highway, the GTO must be getting about 13 MPG city and about 20 MPG highway... that sounds really inefficient for the LS1. The extra weight over a vette must account for some of that but even at 3700 lbs, those efficiency ratings still seem way low ..?

I think it would be more like $1000 actually, not $3000. I also think it would creep just into gas guzzler territory via the city rating.

sounds more fair. $1000 tax would imply about 16 city / 24 hwy, based on their formulas. I find that plausible.
