I am a lead foot, and have never got below 10mpg. The manual transmission must be very poorly setup.

However the reason I have an issue with gas guzzler tax is that SUVs eg Hummer and Escalade are exempt. So I can drive a relatively fuel efficient 20mpg M5 and pay gas guzzler tax, while someone else drives a 10mpg Cadillac Escalade and Pays no gas guzzler tax.

It is American Protectionism nothing more, and the government should be ashamed.
