Interesting. The program rewards those with worse fuel economy because it refunds taxes paid at the pump. Using the calculator, it said at 30 MPG, I would lose money compared to just paying the taxes at the pump. At 20 MPG, it said I would break even. I'd need to drive something that gets worse than 20 MPG for the program to make sense.
