The line graph shows the number of kilometers traveled per car in five countries between 1990 and 2010. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the distance travelled in

kilometres

by each car in five countries (the United States, Germany, Britain, France, and Japan) over a time period of 20 years (from 1990 to 2010).

Overall

, it can be observed that the most area was covered by the cars in the United States,

whereas

the cars in Japan travelled the least.

However

, an interesting feature of the given data is that

this

mileage covered by the vehicles stayed almost steady throughout the mentioned duration.

To begin

with, it is obvious from the line graph that the United States persistently topped the chart over these years, where the mileage of an average car was about 1700

kilometres

in 1990 which rose till 1800 over two decades with slight fluctuation. A similar pattern was noticed for the small vehicles in Britain as well.

In contrast

, Germany and France presented an identical way of decline in the area travelled per car, starting at 1600 and 1000

kilometres

respectively in the start and decreasing to around 1300 and 900 in turn by 2010. A quite striking feature of

this

graph is the least vehicle usage in Japan. The cars were travelling nearly 700

kilometres

in 1990, but

this

figure constantly lowered over time. A little rise and fall was seen by the middle of the given time,

finally

plunging down to 400

kilometres

after 20 years.
