Gas Consumption in the US, compared to Nevada

Nevada--like other states with compact cities--has lowered its per-person gas use more than the US as a whole.

Date range: 1949-2003

Caption: Nevada has lowered its gas use by a third since the high levels of the 1970s, largely because its largest city, Las Vegas, is very dense.
