Not Just the Sticker Price Anymore

If you are in California and looking for a new car, there will be new scale on the window sticker, in addition to the MSRP and the options starting as soon as next month. What is it? It's a "Global Warming Score".

Just like the traditional California "Smog Score", the California "Global Warming Score" will be shown on a scale of 1 to 10, according to HybridCars.com. The higher the score, the more "friendly" the car. The score takes into account the emissions of greenhouse gases from the vehicle's operation and the production of fuel to power it.

Here is a link to the global warming score table.
