 Question
For which of the following vehicles would you NOT have to pay the Gas Guzzler Tax when purchasing the vehicle new?
Answer
2005 Dodge Ram Pickup
2005 Honda Insight

The Gas Guzzler Tax applies only to cars, not light trucks. The Energy Tax Act of 1978 established a Gas Guzzler Tax on the sale of new model year cars whose fuel economy fails to meet certain levels. The tax is collected by the IRS.
