Pumped up: A look at how the price of gas has risen

You probably really don’t require a fancy Domo chart to explain to you that gasoline has gotten really high-priced. But we went ahead and imported weekly regular fuel costs from the U.S. Vitality Information Agency anyway. In performing so, we also get to examine just one of my favourite new attributes in Domo: Wise Textual content, which lets you insert dynamic text in both notebook playing cards and in the title for any card in Domo. So, when you pick out one thing other than “United States” from the drop-down menu under “Geo Name” (beneath), it will also improve the chart next to it (“United States-Normal Weekly Fuel Prices”) to whatsoever area, condition, or town you chose.

Likewise, the time time period will modify from “Last 30 Years” when I select a various date range, or highlight a individual portion in the line graph. “The Min Gas Price” and “Max Gasoline Price” textual content use Domo dynamic summary figures, which allow for me to incorporate metrics to my narrative. These are wonderful resources for making certain that customers have the good context even as they self-provide with different filters and drills.

You will also notice below that we are experimenting with a narrative characteristic (nonetheless in pre-beta), which dynamically generates insights about a specified card in Domo. I truly like this function due to the fact it allows deliver new insights out of facts in a narrative format. As you filter for a new geography or a distinct time period, the narrative refreshes with new insights. Quite darn interesting, if you request me.

Due to the fact we launched “Domo on Details,” we have been pretty concentrated on U.S. details. Which is considerably to the chagrin of some of my colleagues all-around the environment, but it simply has to do with the obstacle in having metrics from other governments, which are likely to be superior at offering totally free facts but bad at compiling throughout international locations. That stated, for this post, we ended up equipped to locate some details on international gas costs via the World-wide Petrol Selling prices internet site. The info is not obtainable for totally free, but does give us some fantastic context. For occasion, though gasoline in the U.S. is a lot more than $4 per gallon, it’s just about $11 in Hong Kong and only slightly significantly less than that in the Netherlands. Yikes.

We will get the job done to convey more international facts to these web pages in coming posts. Oh, and if you are wondering when the final time fuel was less than $1 for every gallon in the U.S., the respond to is March 1999. How I very long for those people times!
