Few expenses were spared in conceiving the Porsche Panamera, but consumers will avoid at least one cost of ownership: the ignominious gas-guzzler tax.</p>


Porsche has announced ratings for the 2010 sedan; it will get a combined figure of 18 mpg or 19 mpg from the EPA, depending on the model.</p>


This means Porsches four-door foray will avoid a fairly substantial cost of ownership–a tax of up to $7,700 is levied on the most prolific guzzlers.</p>


And dodging the federal penalty could give the Panamera a leg up on some competitors. The Maserati Quattroporte, a likely rival, was subjected to the tax for the 2009 model year, along with a range of top-shelf Mercedes and BMW cars.</p>


Bentleys and Lamborghinis also make up a substantial portion of the list, which also includes SRT versions of the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Challenger and Viper and the Audi R8.</p>


The Panamera will check in with ratings of 16 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway (19 combined) for the S and 4S models, which pack 400 hp from a V8 engine.</p>


The Turbo variant will get 15 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway for a combined rating of 18 mpg. It has a potent 500 hp under the hood.</p>


Still, the added guzzler tax may be only an annoyance to many Porsche customers. The S is $89,800, the 4S (all-wheel drive) is $93,800 and the Turbo (also with all-wheel drive) is $132,600.</p>
