If you've been looking for a new dishwasher or other gadget to your house you may be familiar with those colour-coded labels showing how efficient the thing is. But it will apply no for gadgets only – the label scheme was introduced for used cars.

Sadiq Khan, UK's Minister of Transport introduced the colour-coded label scheme for used cars. The label will include information about CO2 emissions, estimated fuel costs over 12,000 miles and MPG. There's still dealer's choice either to label only two year old cars or all dating to 1st March 2001. Even it's not mandatory yet but 94% of British car dealers have already signed up to display the label on new and used cars.


Looks like buying a car will become another shopping round - “Honey, shall we get 'A' class?”
