I think it might be visually misleading, however. Did you divide the national oil consuption by the geographical area of the country when calcuating the height? From a visual perspective the 'volume' of the elevations imply the volume of oil consumption (not the height). If not adjusted by area then smaller countries would be much shorter than they ought to be. For example if the U.S. were divided into 50 countries instead of 50 states (similar to Europe) the height would be 50 time smaller on average. Post Extras
