I just saw a saw a new Mustang Mach 1 in the show room at the local dealer and this 6 speed model has a gas guzzler tax right on the window sticker. The A10 do not have the tax. The dealer could not explain it either. I assume that the 6 stick gets worse economy as compared to the A10 due to drivetrain gearing . Does the Shelby GT350 have a guzzler tax?

Yes, the GT350 comes with a $1,300.00 Gas Guzzler Tax! Your welcome EV Owners.. were supplementing the EV Tax breaks! IMO!

The Mach 1 sub-forum can explain it, better than any Dealership... read through entire thread.

The June issue of Car & Driver has a road test of the Mach 1 and they mention the GGT pricing difference. The A10 gear spread must be the difference.

I was an early order for the A10 and it had the $1000 ggt on my window sticker which i was forced to pay in mid-march when I picked up the car. took me a few weeks of red tape with Ford and EPA but I got a check back from Ford for $1000 last week for their mistake.

This tax is asinine especially when you consider that you're already paying more taxes at the pump when you drive a car that needs to filled more often.

The Trolls are amazing! Anything to get someone’s ass up! They missed the “IMO”!!

Lately it seems like everyone wants an argument in anything someone posts!

It’s getting OLD!

There completely different taxes used for very different purposes. The gas guzzler tax isn't even a direct tax on the consumer. The manufacture has to pay it to the IRS at the end of the year. That's why if you look at a window sticker its listed under options.

So you can post your "opinion", but anyone else who does is a troll
