Gas Guzzler Tax (Taxed Twice???)

Am finalizing my order today and I was told by the dealer that sales tax will be applied to the overall total cost which includes the delivery charge, advertising cost, and Gas Guzzler Tax. The last one is a "tax" so does it make sense to be taxed on top of a tax???

Unhappy

Has anyone in the board ever ordered a 2007 SL? How about 2006? If you have, just want to know how you were charged the Guzzler tax - before or after sales tax... 2006 was supposedly $2100 and 2007 is now $2600.

Thanks.

Sales tax is on the total price of the car, which includes the gas guzzler tax. Yes, you pay tax on tax.
