The new stickers also include a QR code that you can scan with a smart phone to download the info and access more data.

From the joint EPA/DOT press release:

"The new labels, which are the most dramatic overhaul to fuel economy labels since the program began more than 30 years ago, will provide more comprehensive fuel efficiency information, including estimated annual fuel costs, savings, as well as information on each vehicle's environmental impact."
