A dataset for cars manufactured between 1970–82 in the US, Europe and Japan and their associated prices and features
Details
The period between 1970 and 1982 marked a significant shift in the United States car industry. American production shifted from heavy, powerful six and eight-cylinder cars with poor gas mileage to lighter, less powerful, four-cylinder cars with higher fuel efficiency.
The global auto industry, including Americans and their European and Japanese competitors, raised overall miles per gallon (MPG) by focusing on four-cylinder cars and making them more fuel-efficient.
This dataset was taken from the StatLib library which is maintained at Carnegie Mellon University. The dataset was used in the 1983 American Statistical Association Exposition.
