United States Environmental Protection Agency Proposed Fuel Economy Labels in EPA and DOT Notice of Proposed Rulemaking "Revisions and Additions to Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label' This document replicates in color the label designs that are published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking "Revisions and Additions to Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label." The use of color is integral to the label designs being proposed, and because the Federal Register is not published in color, EPA is making the color versions available via this document, which is available both in the public docket and directly from the EPA website at www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/label.htm. For ease of use, the figure numbers correspond to those appearing in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Please note that these labels are examples and do not represent real automobiles. The sample labels are intended to illustrate the elements on the label that would be associated with each vehicle technology/fuel type. They are not meant to represent the actual values that any particular vehicle type could achieve. Specifically, the letter grades are proposed to be technology-neutral and fuel-neutral; that is, any vehicle, regardless of technology or fuel type, would be eligible for any letter grade, as long as it met the specified greenhouse gas/fuel economy levels for that grade.
