For educators and researchers:

I have tried to find a good source of Big Mac Index statistics in a spreadsheet format which has proved to be extremely difficult. I therefore have had to compile many of them by hand. If you want the spreadsheet with the 1986 Big Mac Index stats, feel free to either copy and paste it from above or else download it here.
