The only reliable way would have been a proper survey with true sample
data, done every year. John Williams is better educated to comment
here how many respondents would be needed to get sufficient results.
Theoretically, some market research institute might collected the data,
already but I think we would have heard about that.

To answer your question: No, there's no convenient and inexpensive way,
in my opinion -- especially not for previous years.
