moral of the story is: highly unlikely there will be a guzzler tax on the M3/M4
You are a bit off. Takes 20.5 mpg (55% City/45% Highway) to avoid the tax.
Interesting.... In that case both of the aforementioned vehicles would be subject to the tax, but are not. I wonder if there is a different calculation for the tax.
