Major high-fives and thank-yous to Nicholas Felton for creating this. 

And a fun factoid from Janet Paskin, who wonders whether we can actually cut back on auto spending:

The average household spent $5,477 on gas and auto expenses last year, according to Bundle data, an amount which accounts for about 14.5 percent of daily spending (not including mortgage/rent). That’s more than we spend on groceries or utilities, and more than we spend on travel, entertainment, clothes and shoes, and hobbies — combined.

Very nice!
