Gas Hog tax (more of a flat rate fee per vehicle with a bigger than you need motor), Sales taxes are about it in addition to all the license, title and doc. fees. <br /> <br />As to Ed's post...I could never understand why more vehicles aren't made like his. Back when the new Chevy HD's were first coming out in '01 the new big block motor was rumored to have technology similar to that...all 8 when you needed it, only 4 when you didn't but it never came around. It's nice having the power when you do need it, but when you're out cruising down the highway in the more than often flat lands I'd appreciate a little more mileage. <br /> <br />If gas does go much higher I'm considering trading my truck off for a diesel pickup. 15-20 mpg as opposed to the 8-11 I get now makes a little more sense. Plus its fairly easy to tweak your diesel for more power and still get the same if not better mileage. And if worse comes to worse, I can use the farm fuel to avoid paying the taxes on the fuel. [;)]
