Vehicle fuel economy labels
How much fuel does a car use? And how much does it cost to run? A vehicle fuel economy label will answer these questions for you, helping you factor in the ongoing running costs when choosing your next car.
The label is displayed on new cars manufactured since 2000 and imported since 2005, provided the information is available.
The label must be shown on cars available for sale by registered motor vehicle traders and on internet listings.
The label shows:
- A star rating out of six: six stars for the most efficient cars, down to a half-star raing for the worst performers
- An indicative cost of running the car for a year to help you compare between different makes and models
- The car's fuel economy (litres per 100km). You can also use this to compare different makes and models.
