Lawmakers are proposing a “cash-for-clunkers” bill that would give consumers up to $4,500 to purchase a new fuel efficient car.

According to one version, consumers would have to trade in cars and trucks for a new fuel-efficient vehicle that delivers additional fuel savings of between 2 and 10 miles per gallon, depending on the type of vehicle purchased. According to a recent Edmunds.com article this table will aide consumers in knowing what cars would qualify for the program.
