Starting Jan. 1, every 2009 model year and newer car sold in California will be required to carry a label that ranks, in addition to the existing requisite smog ratings, the vehicle’s global warming impact. California’s Air Resources Board said the new label will have two scores on a scale of 1-10 — one for smog and the other for global warming — with the average new car scoring five on both. The higher the score, the more environmentally friendly the car.   01-01-2009, 05:07 AM   #2 WarpedOne Senior Member     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Slovenia, Europe Posts: 778 Global warming score?
