Energy Stickers and Gas Mileage

Information regarding a vehicle’s fuel efficiency is available to consumers in the form of energy rating stickers which have been affixed to new cars for a number of years. These stickers provide information on Gas Mileage, estimated annual fuel costs and savings, as well as the vehicle’s environmental impact including greenhouse gas emissions and smog ratings. The aim of measuring the vehicle’s costs and tailpipe emissions is to create a level of awareness among consumers of their vehicle’s costs and its environmental impact, and to save fuel, with the added benefit of manufacturers investing in the development of vehicles that can be run on alternative fuels.
