Surprise, surprise: FuelEconomy.gov, the website that the United States Enviromental Protection Agency uses to educate Americans about fuel economy and host a vast database of fuel efficiency statistics, has become very popular. Compete.com, a website analytics provider, pegs last month’s traffic growth at 109.4% over the same period in 2007.
In fact, comparing FuelEconomy.gov with WhiteHouse.gov reveals some interesting stuff. With the White House’s unpopularity comes an increasingly unpopular website; at least it seems that way. Traffic is down 8.6% compared with last year’s month of May and 20.9% compared with April. It’s the White House, a very power-centric location, and its website only beats the goverment’s own fuel efficiency website by 126,173 (1.36million to 1.23million) visitors.
