Federal regulators have unveiled new fuel-economy labels for passenger vehicles in the program's most extensive overhaul in 30 years.
Beginning with cars and trucks from model year 2013, the labels must be affixed to all, including those that run on gasoline, diesel, electricity or a mix.
The decals will display a plethora of details. The estimated annual fuel cost is there. So are the standard miles-per-gallon figures for city and highway driving.
New features, however, include the amount of fuel or electricity the vehicle will need to go 100 miles, as well as the expected savings or cost of fuel over the next five years compared with the average new vehicle.
Drivers will also be able to see how vehicles stack up against others in smog, tailpipe emissions and fuel economy on a one-to-10 scale.
