Canadian Light-Duty Vehicle Fuel Consumption Ratings 1995-2014

Fuel consumption ratings and estimated carbon dioxide emissions for new light-duty vehicles sold at retail in Canada. The dataset covers model years from 1995 to 2014, with ratings adjusted to reflect 5-cycle testing methodologies.

Use Cases

• Analyze fuel consumption trends across vehicle model years from 1995 to 2014
• Compare estimated carbon dioxide emissions between different vehicle models
• Study the impact of 5-cycle testing adjustments on historical fuel consumption ratings

Strengths

• Covers a 20-year time range of vehicle model years from 1995 to 2014
• Ratings are adjusted to a consistent 5-cycle testing standard for cross-year comparison
• Data is provided by Natural Resources Canada, an authoritative government source

Limitations

• Ratings for 1995-2014 vehicles are approximate values generated from original ratings, not from new vehicle testing
• Specific data volume (row count, column count) and sample structure are unknown
