agreed. simpler to let the users enter their own epa figures. selecting from a db would be slick, but it's a big job to set up.
I'm still going back and forth on it. If I convert all of the "spaces" to another character (I used the + sign) I can very easily sort the data. With PHP I can probably set up a function to convert the data to a MySQL table in about 20 minutes. Assuming the data is consistent among the years (or similar) it shouldn't be too difficult. I'll think about it more today.
I just spend an hour or so coding a PHP function to load the data. I now have 1984-1997 into a MySQL table. I still need to format it a bit, but I have year, make, model, displacement, city mpg, highway mpg, total mpg, and any extra notes the EPA included to distinguish between the models.
Later tonight I'll work on 98-2006, which should be extremely easy.
I have data from 85-2006 loaded into the database. Now I need to clean it. There are almost 25000 entries between those years. I'm certain that there are a number of duplicates, so I'll be coding a few things to remove them as well.

Would it be possible to paste the whole thing into an excel spreadsheet? I would like to have it for reference.

I'll make that for you as soon as it's all cleaned up.
