This tool uses fundamental information about your driving patterns to assess the total cost of ownership and emissions for most vehicles, including those that run on alternative fuels and those with advanced technology.
Suppose the market value at the end of the assessment year is higher than the adjusted list price. In that case,
the market value at the end of the year of the evaluation should be used for classic cars, which consist of
vehicles that are
at least 15 years old and have a market value of at least $15,000 at the end of the assessment year.
The benefits will be reduced correspondingly if the automobile is unavailable for a portion of the year.
In addition to hybrid electric and gasoline vehicles, other vehicles run on various fuels, such as bi-fuel LPG,
E85 fuel, and hybrid electric and gas cars.
