The guzzler tax is levied by the federal government on Mercedes Benz. They just pass it on to the purchaser. I tried not to pay sales tax on the gas guzzler tax but lost that battle.
Florida is your best bet. States are getting very aggressive on pursuing improperly registered vehicles.

Couple of things to note. One, if your registration does not match your drivers license state/address, you are going to find yourself in trouble if you get pulled over. You can only lie so many times before they realize that your living within the state on an out of state registration and license.

If you become a California resident, you must get a California driver license within 10 days. Residency is established by voting in a California election, paying resident tuition, filing for a homeowner’s property tax exemption, or any other privilege or benefit not ordinarily extended to nonresidents.
A nonresident vehicle was last registered outside the state of California. Anyone who brings a vehicle into California, or purchases a nonresident vehicle while in California, should be aware of the registration requirements.
Fees must be paid within 20 days of entry or residency to avoid penalties. Any vehicle owned by a California resident must be registered within 20 days of entry into California unless a special permit was obtained. Nonresidents whose vehicles are properly registered to them in their home state or jurisdiction may operate their vehicles in California until they:

- Rent or lease a residence in California.
- Intend to live or be located here on a permanent basis (for example, acquire a California driver license, acquire other licenses not ordinarily extended to a nonresident, registered to vote).
- Enroll in an institution of higher learning as a California resident or enroll their dependents in school (K-12).

We have very specific rules in Nevada on vehicle registration/drivers licensing since we have no personal or corporate income tax state lots of people try to skirt tax laws here. Property ownership is ususally not a deciding factor; we use the state listed on your federal income tax return to determine your "legal" state of residence.
