Ok people of Ontario
Why did the 2008 Ford Focus get 48 MPG hwy and you recieved an $100 Fuel Conservation Tax credit, now 2009 Ford Focus gets 47 MPG hwy and you have to pay $75 Fuel conservation Tax?
What gives? Did the car change at all? |

But it does look better the Canadian way, 13 mpg  As to the original post, I think it's stupid that 1mpg changes it from a saver to a guzzler.

Re: Ok people of Ontario
Taxing a Focus? Shame on people for buying a gas guzzler like the Focus. Maybe Ontario should open their eyes and heavily tax pigs like the Hummer or Tahoe and leave tax grabs on economy cars alone.

Re: Ok people of Ontario
It's McGuinty and the Liberals fault.

>1$ gasoline is plenty of stimulation to buy economical cars... if we had Iranian-style gas prices (8-11 cents / L) then sure. Essentially we are getting screwed twice (and in Quebec, multiple times : "luxury tax" on expensive cars, the gas-guzzler tax, the tax on engine displacement when registering...)
