答案 The graph compares the percentage of their income which people in the UK and USA spend on petrol. From the data, we can see two clear differences.
Firstly, the difference between the poorest 10% and the richest 10% is greater in the UK than in the USA. In the former, the poorest spend less than 0.5% of their income on petrol, suggesting that they do not use cars very much, and the richest spend around 3%. By contrast, in the US, the poorest spend around 4-5% while the richest spend between 2 and 3%. This suggests that virtually everyone in the USA uses a car sometimes. Secondly, in the USA it is also noticeable that the percentage of income spent by the poor can be twice that spent by the rich. However, in the UK, the percentage spent rises quite steeply for the poorer members of the population but then remains almost constant apart from the very richest, where it falls again. In both countries people on middle incomes spend about the same percentage. Overall, the percentage of income spent on fuel generally gets higher in the UK, the more you earn, whereas it decreases in the US.
