Edmunds.com Wants Your View on Proposed New EPA Labels

The Environmental Protection Agency is going to slap new fuel-economy and emissions labels on every new vehicle beginning with the '12 model year, labels designed to give more useful information and present it in a more user-friendly format.

Last week the EPA broke cover with two proposals for the new labeling and said it is seeking public input at its own website. But Edmunds.com, parent of AutoObserver, is conducting its own survey to ask a specific audience - you, the readers from all of the Edmunds.com properties - which label works best.

Completing the survey takes but a simple mouse-click, although there is a section to include thoughts and comments.

Meanwhile, for those who want a detailed background of what's behind the new labels and how the information will apply to current and future new vehicles, there is an exhaustive rundown from Edmunds.com here, which some might find helpful prior to voting for their preferred new fuel-economy label.
