Week 16: Pain at the Pump

[jdawson]

I really like this visualization. I like the ability to easily select different countries, currencies, gallon or liter, and different quarters; however, being able to combine quarters would be nice. I was interested in seeing how 2013 has compared to 2014 but there is not a good way to do this that I can tell. The rollover elements are a nice touch and the colors used are very appealing. The animation is tastefully done as well. Overall I think this is a great visualization to help the average user to enjoy the data; however, it is also powerful enough for someone researching the subject area to do some in depth analysis.
