US Natural Gas Consumption vs US Oil Consumption
US Natural Gas Consumption and US Oil Consumption correlate at r = +0.46 over 61 years (1965–2025), p = 1.8e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.18. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 1.8e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.18). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
