Via Rebecca Blood is a chart from the U.S Department of Energy that shows, clearly, that recent gas prices are the cheapest they’ve ever been. I’d like to see companion charts that show the amount of fuel used by cars over the same period.
In a similar vein, the Internet Movie Database seems to have removed their lists of all-time highest-grossing movies when adjusted for inflation and average ticket price, although they still have their unadjusted lists (which favour newer movies). I’ve found a similar list at Rave Central, but I’m curious why IMDb dropped theirs. Pressure from Hollywood, perhaps?
