11. 49.1. Japan ranked low because of wide use of oil for home heating and food choices often including pork and seafood.

12. 48.7. France was the lowest among European countries ranked, having relatively large homes, many heated by oil and fewer than half having insulation. They are also less likely to choose energy-saving appliances.
