From the New York Times an interactive graphic which allows you to look up the CEO pay in 2007 and compare it to the change in their company’s stock price (by Vu Nguyen, Kurl Russell, Tom Jackson). I took screenshots for 4 tech CEOs: Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Size of the orange circle is the CEO’s compensation. Keep in mind this does not include the increase value of stock options they currently own.

Screenshots from a New York Times Interactive Graphic by Matthew Bloch, Shan Carter and Amanda Cox that shows the different parts of the average consumer’s budget and the change in price (inflation) over the last year. I have highlighted gasoline: share of spending is 5.2% with a price increase of 26%. If you go to the Interactive Graphic you can zoom on different categories (as you can see from the second screenshot).
