See a geographical representation of world oil consumption.

It's said that about 80% of the world's data has a geographical element. In this representation, John Jason Fallows uses data from the CIA World Factbook to create polygons which illustrate the country's oil consumption, where one foot equates to daily oil consumption per barrel per day.
