Great stuff! I think it would be interesting to see gasser/diesel/hybrid splits where the data is available.

can you list which make/models are diesel and hybrid? Using regular expression search of the vehicle descriptions only show 8 entries for diesel and 75 for hybrid.

Here is what I have based on current descriptions

...if we had vehicle "weights" it'd be interesting to "see" the MPG-vs.-WT comparisons, which would bring the motorcycle people down closer to the rest of us.

Great charts! How are you mining the data?

I would like to know this too.

Nice job with the data collection.

Gotta feel sorry for all the diesel VW TDIs and Mercedees 500Ds when some dumb guy puts a honkin 1 ton in the mix and ruins the numbers.
Probably the same dumb @$$ that has the 14MPG EPA vehicle too.

I'm using the free and open source statistical computing software called R. I am an Engineer/Statistician/Operations Research specialist by trade. If you are curious more about R and data mining analytics you can check out a couple of my sites.

IEOR Tools Online Store. I have a category dedicated to R programming there.

Also my IEOR Tools blog where I frequently talk about R and other analytics.

If anyone is curious about getting started with R I strongly suggest looking at one of my posts on beginner R.

That is a great idea. I'm still working on getting the detailed garage data.

Sorry, I probably didn't use the right term (I'm definitely not a statistics expert)... What I meant is how do you retrieve the data from the Garage? I can't imagine that you manually download the data for every vehicle in the garage in order to plug into the statistics program...

Appreciate the link to the statistics program R though... I think it has to have a 'www' as part of the link however.

Have you tried other phrases / acronyms such as TDI, HDI, IMA etc etc ? Of course the list could become longer than the list of cars

Thanks for the link to beginning R, been looking to get into this for a while.
