Open

Description

@dankegel

It'd be nice to be able to get at the EPA mpg figures for the vehicle.

#14 is a draft step in that direction.

    nice work on the EPA PR. @dankegel are you still working on it?

    I paused a while ago. The next step would be to replace my two-step search
    with a one-step search upon a fully downloaded copy of the EPA data
    (I think Chris Smith contributed a pull request that started down that path).
    The EPA API is not up to the task - the mismatch in naming schemes between
    EPA and NHTSA makes looking up first model and then option too error prone -
    and a 'holistic' match of both model and options at the same time would be far
    more robust.

    I should check to see I pushed my latest code...

    Even though my multilayer lookup code is crap, it and the regression test suite might be
    useful scaffolding for doing a better lookup.
