This comment made me think hard. The chart didn’t seem dishonest to me: the Y axis font size is big enough, and abbreviating it seemed reasonable as a way of making more space to show the shape.
But it’s interesting to think about in the context of US education standards continuing to plummet: maybe design choices which would have been valid in, say, the 70s would end up being misleading now.
Y axis starts at 40 👎

SPR are not supposed to reach 0 , and at the rate it is going down it might reach 0 which will be bad
0 is as arbitrary a number as any other
No it’s not, it’s the physical limit for this quantity. But I disagree that the plot is misleading.
I know we can’t run the tanks dry and need I think 20 percent to be considered empty… But still - 40 is baffling.
The y axis is days of supply, not barrels or litres.
