Is the requirements that much tougher in 2014? That sucks, no gas guzzler tax is definately one of the advantages I counted on for this car vs. the old
Trucks don't have GGT.

Otherwise 17/26 seems right about what I expected and that it will translate to about 18 mpg for my commute just as I get 15.5 with my E90 M3 with it's 15/20 mpg rating.
Right about what I was expecting too. But like you and others, the GGT possibility has caught me way off guard. For some reason I didn't think we were in any danger of that, even as I'd figured about 17/25 rating from EPA testing.

So what is the minimum we needed to be at to avoid the tax? I know it's based on the combined rating. I guess I should just go look it up but it'll have to wait til tomorrow.
