EPA printable MPG "window sticker" PDF's for U.S. cars, back to 1984

Tidbit via NYT blogs:

Quote:
Realizing that sellers and shoppers might want to see official data about a used vehicle’s fuel efficiency, the Environmental Protection Agency now offers an online tool to generate a do-it-yourself window sticker.
from: E.P.A. Offers Fuel-Economy Labels for Used Cars - NYTimes.com

Quote:
The label also displays a quick-response code that can be read by some smartphones to generate model literature and other data about the vehicle.

...wow, something actually "useful" from our EPA...who'd a thunk it?













...to be truthful, at first, I read the "...back to 1984" title as retrogressing back to George Orwells' "1984" (ha,ha).

Sadly I just went to the web page and it stated that it was "out of service". No explanation.
