Real-World Fuel Efficiency
This is a report of city vehicles and actual MPG compared to EPA estimated MPG. Each line of data is a combination of all the active vehicles on the city’s telematics system broken down into year/make/model/standard type with fueling and usage data. The intent is for each line to represent the sticker MPG and the real-world MPG and how these compare to each other. The report can be found at https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/fleet/NYC-Fleet-Newsletter-306-May-27-2020-Hybrids-Work-Even-Better-in-Reality-Than-in-Theory.pdf.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
0 of 14 columns carry a concept; 14 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
