Provincial Government Launches Calculator to Support Vehicle Efficiency

The Provincial Government today launched the Vehicle Efficiency and Cost Calculator to inform motor vehicle users in Newfoundland and Labrador about the cost and benefits of choosing a fuel efficient vehicle.

The calculator helps residents compare the user costs and the impacts on the environment of various types of gasoline, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles.

The Vehicle Efficiency and Cost Calculator is available on Turn Back the Tide, the Provincial Government’s public awareness website on climate change: www.turnbackthetide.ca/vehicle-efficiency-and-cost-calculator.html .
