The line graph demonstrates the report of expenses on petrol of people in the US and the UK. The graph is divided into three sections: from low to high-income depending on the percentage of an individual’s income.
By and large, while in the US poor people spend on petrol more than any other levels of sustainability, in the UK by contrast indicates that the middle-incomers are the one who pay more. However, Americans who spend the minimum ratio of their salary are the richest ones, while with the British it works in the opposite way. It means that in the UK the role of financial sustainability of citizens can significantly affect their expenses on petrol.
Firstly, the cost of gasoline peaked for the poorest population of the US. For middle-incomers it takes away around 4% of income for Americans, but it’s not as noticeable as for poorer people. Consequently, for wealthiest people this price takes only about 2% of their income.
In the UK, everything is reversed, the expenses of richest people are more for around 2% than poorest citizens. While the average incomers sometimes spend slightly more than high-incomers, poorest ones can set aside only half of 1% of their incomes.
