Gasoline use per capita
We are a nation of gas guzzlers -- or so the enviro-weenies would have you believe. Make you feel guilty so you quietly submit to their Cultural Marxism and top-down "leadership" (You will do this -- it is for your own good) Ironman at Political Calculations takes a look at the facts:How Much Gas Do Americans Use?He cites his sources and explains the simple calculations. Here is the graph he came up with:
The question seems obvious given all the news coverage related to the price of oil and the geopolitics related to its supply, not to mention the seemingly endless whining about SUVs on the roads of the United States from environmentalists, but really, how much gasoline is supplied to the average American, and how has that changed over time? Are individual Americans consuming more or less gas than they did in years past?

What I'd like to see is "Transportation _emissions_ per capita".
Ignoring both water and carbon dioxide. Or at least keep those two separate.
