I think you are refering to what is called "luxury tax" which was suspended this year.

I think EPA city mileage will be at least as good as S8 & S6 (15-16 mpg)

Gas guzzler tax is different and still in effect. Flat tax applies to S6 and S8

Yes. S8 hit with $1300, S6 with $2100. I guess it depends on the mileage.

Default Looks like approx $2600 based on this...
12.1 MPG city
24 MPG highway
(taken from Auto Week review)

using the formula on the linked website I get 18.15 avg. MPG = $2600 tax.<ul><li><a href="http://www.liberalartsandcrafts.net/contentcatalog/autos/guzzlertax.shtml">Tax calculation</a></li></ul>

Default Hmm, I used to have a Dodge Ram 2500 with the V10 which cost me about 40K.
I didn't see this tax on that beast.
