    At xkcd . com, there's a new info chart, this time about money.

    Here's the vehicle section, zoomed in. Each square represents $1000. So the Prius cost is 38700 total - 5000 fuel = 33700 car cost, all options, I guess. The fuel cost proportions are interesting.

    Click the chart at his site, to get a zoomable version. Lots of different subjects are covered, and they all show in proportion by units of dollars, thousands, millions, billions, and trillions.
