US Oil Consumption vs US Population
US Oil Consumption and US Population correlate at r = +0.63 over 61 years (1965–2025), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.02. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.63 to -0.02 once the trend is removed.
