How much will you spend on gas? A label is proposed to compare the costs and emissions of new cars in Mexico.

The consumer advocacy group El Poder del Consumidor has formally requested that the Mexican Secretariat of Economy implement a mandatory labeling system for new vehicles. The proposed labels are designed to provide consumers with transparent information regarding fuel efficiency, associated costs, and carbon emissions prior to purchase.

The initiative aims to address the ongoing financial and environmental impact of vehicle ownership beyond the initial acquisition price. By standardizing this data, the proposal seeks to assist buyers in making informed decisions based on the long-term operational costs and environmental footprint of new automobiles.
