The chart compares fuel spending by income percentage of poor, middle-income, rich people in the United Kingdom and the United States. Generally speaking, fuel spending percentage is in proportion to wealth in the United Kingdom, but the United States can be said to have the opposite trend.
In the United Kingdom, percentage of fuel spending is positively correlated with income, although it can be seen that the richer people get, the less their fuel spending affects their income percentage. The poorest group spend from 0. 5% to 2. 5% of their income on fuel, and the middle-income spend from 2. 5% to about 4% of their income. However, under no circumstance does fuel spending take up more than 4% income in the UK. In fact, negative correlation between wealth and fuel spending percentage can be witnessed in the wealthiest group. At one point, spending percentage of the richest group falls steadily from 4% to 3% of their income.
In the USA, the poorer the people the bigger a toll fuel spending takes on them. The poorest spend at least 4% of their income on fuel, and this percentage rises steeply in correlation with income until it reaches a peak at approximately 5. 2%. From this point, the percentage is negatively correlated with income, as the middle-income group spend an average of 4. 1%, and the richest group spend an average of 3. 2% of their income on fuel.
Overall, correlation between fuel spending percentage and income is positive in the UK, whereas it is negative in the USA.
