Fuel Efficiency per Horsepower range

25/08/2017

Introduction

As a simple way of getting an idea of the fuel efficiency of a car I am going to buy, I though of plotting a simple predictor (horsepower) that was easy to visualize and useful when car-shopping to give me an idea of the MPG. My chosen dataset was R's mtcars.

I then decided to allow the user to use a slider to get the range of horsepower that is looking to buy and see with their own eyes, the MPG expected [more or less].

summary(mtcars$mpg)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
  10.40   15.43   19.20   20.09   22.80   33.90
