Yes to Value Judgement

The US Govt is considering new information requirements for new cars. One proposal is a grading system (as in "A", etc.) that combines fuel consumption and greenhouse gas pollution.) An average vehicle on fuel efficiency and emissions would  receive a B-.   Electric vehicles would recieve A+.  Plug-in hybrid would receive an A.  Gas electric hybrids like the Prius would receive an A-   TOyota Camry would receive a B oro B- depending on engine.

Spokeswoman for Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said, "the letter grade inadvertently suggests a value judgment taking us back to school days where grades were powerful symbols of passing or failing."   Better believe it!
