Not quite. It is a tiered system and the amount of the government credit depends on MPG improvement.

z06boy: In order to get any money at all you need to improve your fuel economy by a certain amount.

If you get a passenger car and it improves your economy by 4mpg or more (20mpg) you get $3500. If you get 10mpg better or more (26mpg) you get the full $4500.

If you get a truck it gets more complex. I would suggest looking at the cars.gov faq to try and figure it out.
