Yesterday, the Obama administration unveiled two proposed versions of window stickers for new cars.  The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the EPA to rate vehicles on greenhouse gas and smog emissions, in addition to mileage.  These two stickers help fulfill that mission, and are designed to educate consumers on the environmental impacts of driving a particular car.  They are, according to a New York Times article, “the biggest change to the window labels since they were created three decades ago.”
