Characteristics of cars from 1991
data("AUTO")
A data frame with 82 observations on the following 5 variables.
CabVolume
a numeric vector, cubic feet of cab space
Horsepower
a numeric vector, engine horsepower
FuelEfficiency
a numeric vector, average miles per gallon
TopSpeed
a numeric vector, miles per hour
Weight
a numeric vector, in units of 100 lbs
Although this is a popular dataset, there is some question as to the units of the fuel efficiency. The source claims it to be in miles per gallon, but the numbers reported seem unrealistic. However, the units do not appear to be in km/gallon or km/L.
