Welcome to the February edition of #ProjectDataViz! This month, we have an exciting data set about fuel economy for all vehicles sold in the United States for model years 1984 to 2023. Fuel economy is a critical aspect of any vehicle, affecting both the environment and the wallet. This data set provides a comprehensive overview of the fuel efficiency of vehicles sold in the United States over the past 40 years. The data includes information such as make, model, and year of the vehicle, engine size, fuel type, and miles per gallon (MPG) ratings for city and highway driving.
Our data this month comes to us from the United States Department of Energy, found on fueleconomy.gov. Be sure to cite the data source on your viz.
Our data source is hosted on our Data.World page. We've created an Excel version and a CSV, both should work, just providing both versions in case you want to enrich the data more easily in Excel:
