The cutoff is a "Combined MPG" of 22.5mpg. The EPA's Combined MPG is basically the average of city and highway with an adjustment. The '08 SRT-8 rated at 13-18mpg gets a "Combined MPG" of 19.1.
So if the A6 w/o AFM was rated to 21 or 22mpg highway, it still might not have gotten the tax. But it certainly is more appealing to perspective buyers at 26 highway.
