The US Department of Energy publishes the fuel efficiency (i.e. MPG) of all vehicles sold in the US each year. These statistics are available from 1978-2009 at [login to view URL] We need to import these statistics into an application we've built. However, the files are not all formatted consistently. We are looking for someone (or a team) to go through the data for each year 1978-2009 and reformat the data in a consistent format.
## Deliverables
The deliverables are a set of CSV files, one for each year from 1978 to 2009, inclusive. (i.e. we expect 31 CSV files). Each year's data should be saved as a CSV file with the filename [year].csv. So, for example, the 2004 data should be saved in 2004.csv. Each CSV file should contain the following columns: - YEAR - MAKE - MODEL - TRANS_TYPE - DISPLACEMENT - CYLINDER_COUNT - FUEL_TYPE - CITY_MPG - HIGHWAY_MPG - COMBINED_MPG Valid values for TRANS_TYPE are: - 'A' (automatic) - 'M' (manual) Valid values for FUEL_TYPE are: - 'R' (regular petrol) - 'P' (premium petrol) - 'D' (diesel) - 'E' (E85 Ethanol) - 'C' (compressed natural gas) The TRANS_TYPE, DISPLACEMENT, and CYLINDER_COUNT fields are optional. I recognize that some of the older data files won't have these fields. When a data file doesn't specify a fuel type, you should assume that it is an 'R'. I went ahead and converted the 2009 data to this format to give you an example of what I'm looking for. That file is attached.
