The given diagram illustrates the amount of money that drivers from the USA and the UK charge on petrol.
Overall, there is a clear contrast between the spending habit of the mentioned countries’s drivers. While in the United States it is seem that the richer the drivers are, the smaller proportion of their income spending on gasoline will be, the opposite trend happens in the United Kingdom.
It can be observed that the poorest English only can afford a little amount of petrol, as the money for petrol is only make up for below one percent of their income. Petrol is consumed more as drivers have higher salary; and with the middle-income English, the percentage of their income spending on petrol is almost 2,5 percent to nearly 4 percent. Although the rich in England pay more for gasoline in comparison to the middle-income, it is shown that the top-richest spend lesser, just about 3,4 percent of their income.
Unlike the UK, the poorest in the USA spend up to more than five percent of their income on gasoline. With the middle-income American drivers, the percentage is lower to place between four and five, and it is even lower in term of the richest drivers as they can only have to spend down to just average 2,5 percent.
