Consumers continue to demand gas guzzling automobiles. The IRS collected nearly $71 million in 2000 from those<br />

buying autos with fuel economy less than <strong>22</strong>.5 miles per gallon. This tax does not apply to light trucks such as<br />

pickups, minivans, sport utility vehicles, and vans.<br />
