The Energy Tax Act of 1978 established a Gas Guzzler Tax on the sale of new cars with particularly poor fuel economy to discourage the production of such vehicles—trucks are exempt. It is collected directly from the manufacturer rather than the buyer. The amount paid by the manufacturer is disclosed on the automobile's fuel economy label (the window sticker on new cars).
The fuel economy figures used to determine the Gas Guzzler Tax are different from the fuel economy values provided on this web site and in the Fuel Economy Guide. The tax does not depend on the actual on-the-road fuel economy, which may be more or less than the EPA published value for some drivers.

At least 22.5$0At least 21.5, but less than 22.5$1,000At least 20.5, but less than 21.5$1,300At least 19.5, but less than 20.5$1,700At least 18.5, but less than 19.5$2,100At least 17.5, but less than 18.5$2,600At least 16.5, but less than 17.5$3,000At least 15.5, but less than 16.5$3,700At least 14.5, but less than 15.5$4,500At least 13.5, but less than 14.5$5,400At least 12.5, but less than 13.5$6,400Less than 12.5$7,700
