ggplot with 2 y axes on each side and different scales

Starting with ggplot2 2.2.0 you can add a secondary axis like this (taken from the ggplot2 2.2.0 announcement):

ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  scale_y_continuous(
    "mpg (US)", 
    sec.axis = sec_axis(~ . * 1.20, name = "mpg (UK)")
  )
