According to The Washington Post, Fixr.com, a cost-estimating website, created this map using Google Autocomplete, basically typing “How much does ___ cost in ___?” into Google for each state or state capital, and then marking down the most commonly searched-for good or service. They say, "Some of the searches are somewhat disturbing, including sex, drugs and lots of plastic surgery. Others are delightfully innocent, like Alaska’s search for the price of a gallon of milk and Vermont’s search for the cost of a cord of wood."

In good ol' practical Wisconsin? We want to know the price of electricity.
