First, I would suggest that you give yourself a GUI like tkinter,
wxpython to visualize the data. An average of the sequential(averaged
per 60 second intervals) traveled by drivers on the road, and at what
times.

Then, and I don't know why, but it seems you want a logarithmic, scale where:


for i in range(0,4)
    print "%i = %i" % (i * 10 **i)
