Apparently the Gas Guzzler Tax paid by the manufacturer will be disclosed on the automobile's fuel economy label (the window sticker on new cars).

I think you have to pay the gas guzzler tax just like any other tax.
On this Pontiac website, the gas guzzler tax is extra.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Tax, title, license, dealer fees, $1,000 gas guzzler tax and optional equipment are extra. Gas guzzler tax is required only with automatic transmission.
