Suburban Automobile Dependency

the amount of gasoline used by each person generally increases with per capita land consumption.
However, at any level of per capita land consumption,
gasoline consumption in U.S. cities (green dots) is higher than that in Australian cities (blue dots).
this is a consequence of easier access to public transportation in Australia.
