Starting January 1 2009, all new cars sold in California will carry a label which informs consumers of the state's assessment of the vehicle's environmental impact.
From the link below:
"The environmental performance label will provide two scores on a scale of 1-10, a Smog Score and a Global Warming Score. The average new car will score five on both scales. The higher the score the less impact the car has on the environment. The California Air Resources Board also hosts a consumer web site, www.DriveClean.ca.gov, that provides information on the cleanest, most efficient cars on the market."
