EPA reveals new fuel Economy labels

Potential car buyers will see new designs for fuel economy labels, reflecting the increased use of alternatives to gasoline such as electric and diesel. The Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency unveiled the three types of new labels Wednesday.

One type is for cars that use gasoline or diesel, or hybrids that use only self-generated electricity. A second is for gas and electric hybrids that use some plug-in electricity, and the third is for vehicles running strictly on plug-in power.
