BILL NUMBER:A9132B
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to requiring automobile dealers display a "Gallons-Per-Mile (GPM) Fuel Savings Guide"
Purpose
To require that automobile dealers in New York State display a "Gallons-Per-Mile (GPM) Fuel Savings Guide."
Summary of provisions
Adds a new section 3-0319 to the environmental conservation law to require automobile dealers to display a "Gallons- Per-Mile (GPM) Fuel Savings Guide." Such guide shall set forth Miles- per-Gallon (MPG) in increments, the average number of gallons the vehi- cle is expected to use when traveling a distance of one thousand miles, and the cost savings between vehicles. Penalties are imposed upon those who violate subdivision 3 of this section.
Justification
Gallons per thousand miles driven is a much more useful means of measuring fuel efficiency than the current miles per gallon standard is. The new standard will enable a vehicle purchaser to compare fuel efficiency among various models of automobiles more easily. It will also allow a consumer to know accurately-at a glance-the cost of operat- ing a vehicle over one thousand miles. Additionally, it will enable environmentally-conscious consumers to identify the relative environ- mental impact of different vehicles.
Legislative history
New bill in the Assembly; Same as S6141B of 2009 (Squadron).
Fiscal implications
None to the state.
Effective date
January first next succeeding the date it shall have become a law; provided, however, that subdivision 4 of section 3-0319 of the environmental conservation law, as added by section two of this act, shall take effect one year after such effective date.
