Predict-CO2-Emissions

Question

Given the dataset, can we predict the Co2 emission of a car using another field such as engine size?

The data

Fuel consumption dataset, FuelConsumption.csv, contains model-specific fuel consumption ratings and estimated carbon dioxide emissions for new light-duty vehicles for retail sale in Canada. Dataset source

• MODELYEAR e.g. 2014
• MAKE e.g. Acura
• MODEL e.g. ILX
• VEHICLE CLASS e.g. SUV
• ENGINE SIZE e.g. 4.7
• CYLINDERS e.g 6
• TRANSMISSION e.g. A6
• FUELTYPE e.g. z
• FUEL CONSUMPTION in CITY(L/100 km) e.g. 9.9
• FUEL CONSUMPTION in HWY (L/100 km) e.g. 8.9
• FUEL CONSUMPTION COMB (L/100 km) e.g. 9.2
• CO2 EMISSIONS (g/km) e.g. 182 --> low --> 0
