US Natural Gas Consumption vs US Gross Savings
US Natural Gas Consumption and US Gross Savings correlate at r = -0.41 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 0.0021. With the time trend removed, r = +0.44. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is -0.41, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes 0.44. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
