The line graph shows the percentage of oil used in lceland, Sweden, ltaly, and Turkey from
1966 to 2006 as a proportion of each country's total energy consumption.
Overall, it is clear that Turkey's proportion of oil use surged over the 4O-year period.
Meanwhile, the share of oil usage in ltaly remained relatively consistent, but Sweden and
lceland's percentage plunged.
Looking at the graph more closely, one can see that Turkey had the lowest proportion of oil use
in 1966. At this time, the nation relied on oil for around 60 percent of its energy needs, which was
only two-thirds of the proportion ltaly used. However, by the end of the period in question, Turkey's
share was the same as ltaly's at 90 percent. ltaly's proporlion was consistently high maintaining a
share of, between 80 to 90 percent throughout the period. ln contrast, Sweden and lceland saw
steep percentage declines during the first half of the period, with each dropping approximately 40
percent. The share of oil use in Sweden continued to gradually decrease, reaching 35 percent by
2006. lceland experienced a small percentage rise from 1986 to 1996 before dropping significantly
to around 20 percent in 2006, the lowest share of oil use among the four countries.
