The U.S. Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency have introduced new fuel economy labels designed to give new car buyers more information about energy costs and pollution emissions. The new labels are required by the federal Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
Among other things, the stickers will give consumers estimates on how much they will spend on fuel over five years compared to the average new vehicle, and how a vehicle compares to other vehicles for smog emissions and emissions that contribute to climate change.
