Summary

Amends the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to compute automobile fuel consumption rate statistics based on actual road tests. Requires that such fuel consumption rates, in addition to the presently required fuel economy label, be affixed in a prominent place on each automobile manufactured after 1976. Directs the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) to conduct a study to determine the most accurate and realistic testing procedures which may be used by the EPA for its study of automobile consumption rates. Requires the NBS to report the results of such study to the EPA and to the President and Congress before January 1, 1977.
