*The data included in the Department of Energy's Fuel
Economy Guide are the result of vehicle testing done at the Environmental
Protection Agency's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in
Ann Arbor, Michigan and by vehicle manufacturers themselves with oversight
by EPA. All of the data files are comma delimited text files for import
into database or spreadsheet tables. The 1998, and 1999, are also available
as an excel spreadsheet. The data files have been compressed. A utility
such as PKUNZIP
can be used to decompress the files.
**Recent editions of the Fuel Economy Guide are provided
as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Any PDF file can be downloaded,
viewed on screen, and printed using the Adobe
Acrobat Reader software. This free software can be downloaded from
the Adobe Web site. Installation and setup instructions are provided
on this site.
