DEFINITION: This entry is the total oil consumed in barrels per day (bbl/day). The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors.

24th February 2005 Hi Joseph, China's oil demand has been growing at an average 7% since 1990, and while it's now the second largest oil consumer after the USA, its consumption in 2004 was around six million barrels per day, against a little over 20 in the USA. But if the current trend continues, China's consumption is expected to equal that of the USA by the mid-2020s.
DG
4th March 2005 To answer why the U.S. is in the Middle East, consider that we USE about 7 billion barrels per year (from data, above), and we have, in the ground 22 billion barrels (http://www.capitals.com/rankorder/2178rank.html).
You do the math.
Then consider that you can't grow food, fertilize crops, make plastics, not to mention drive or fly without it.
Michael
24th March 2005 China is not catching up to the US in oil consumption. If Chinese oil consumption continues to grow at current rates - which it almost certainly will not - by 2020 it will be consuming as much as the United States does CURRENTLY in 2005 -- not as much as the United States will be consuming at that point.

24th March 2005 Hi Michael, you're right. The EIA has estimated that demand for oil in the United States would reach 28.3 million barrels per day in 2025, with transportation demand projected to grow to 41.2 quadrillion Btu in 2025. It has projected that energy use for transportation in China would be 14.0 quadrillion Btu in 2025.

30th March 2005 According to Al Jazeera, an International Energy Agency (IEA) report suggests that governments should cut back fuel consumption by encouraging car-pooling, cutting or eliminating bus and subway fares, and enforcing speed restrictions and compulsory driving bans.
The driving bans suggested include requiring everyone not to drive one day out of every 10, or limiting vehicles with odd- or even-numbered license plates to driving on odd- or even-numbered days.
The IEA study admits that enforcing such bans would require the hiring of additional police or traffic officers. They estimate that one additional officer would be required for every 100,000 employed people.
An emergency treaty of the IEA – the Agreement on an International Energy Program – would require member countries to reduce oil consumption by seven to 10 percent if activated. The world’s five biggest economies – United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and France – are all members of the IEA.
Ralf Crow
27th May 2005 Does the Kyoto protocol or other restrictions on oil consumption allow for the differences in each nation's purpose and the economic benefit of oil usage. For example is a manufacturing economy (where oil is mainly used by factories to produce goods) given different consideraton compared to a service economy (eg if oil is mainly used in driving and leisures)? Like many developing nations, moving from agricultural to manufaturing, the need for oil reflects the need to move out of poverty. While many of the well-developed countries, who have already moved out of manufacturing to service based, arguably is less affected in real terms for reducing oil consumption (eg drive less and develop alternative energy)? I think if US or Japan (among highest GDP per capita in the world) could not afford the price of alternative energy, how could India?
John Steinmetz
31st January 2006 For comparison, the European Union consumes apporximatley 14,590,000 barrels of oil a day, and would be number 2 behind the United States in this statistic.

18th March 2006 If any of you are concerned about the current crisis with Iran you should read this article. It blew me away. energybulletin.net
Ramesh Kuruganti (Hyderabad,India)
6th July 2006 As United States of America has the largest consumption of Oil, the country should engage its own experts and overseas experts, to analyse and decide on the methods to reduce consumption.If proper measures are taken by USA to bring down its consumption of Oil per year, the Global Warming Process can be slowed down; and further it will lead to down ward trend in oil prices, and many countries which solely rely on Imports of Oil can save a lot and spend on measures to alleviate poverty.
Brock Whitbread (Ontario, Canada)
7th January 2007 ^^ Maurie's question is exactly the same as my own. I'm completing a project on oil consumption vs. production for my statistics course and I would really like a more clear definition of total consumption.
Larry Mason (Santa Barbara, CA)
7th February 2007 Thanks for a very informative website. This info is indispensable in assessing the enormity of the global warming disaster now facing us, and how each of us can do his part in ameliorating it. We can't wait for governments to bring it under control and industry has a vested interest in the status quo. It's just me and you, kids.
ALBERT LOBATO (UNITED STATES, CALIF.)
20th February 2007 If we are the main culpritof global warming,then we should lower our immigration levels to slow down the consumption of gasoline. This would be a start.
LZ
3rd April 2007 ALBERT LOBATO, it is possibly that the biggest consumers of gasoline have already been in the US for more than 100 years.
william wehrle (saint peters, MO USA)
2nd May 2007 If there were half as many people on the planet we would consume half the amount of oil. It really is that simple!
Greg Lindsay (New York, USA)
22nd May 2007 I am not going to deny that the United States has a problem with oil. However i took a look at the per capita section and the US ranked 17th!
Jerry (Toowoomba Australia)
4th June 2007 Man this is really scary, we will not only be out of fossil fuels in a few years but the world will be a furnace once we release all that carbon back into the atmosphere
Matty (UK)
22nd June 2007 There is only one way in the short term that we can hope to not use up all the natural resources that is this: NUCLEAR POWER, wind power and wave power is very nice and clean but combustion is the only way with which energy is truly generated, ether that or spilting atoms, the other forms of energy don't come in terms of amount of energy produced, I know people don't like it but Nuclear is the only way, unless Scientists finally figure out the practicalities of Fusion which is basically the perfect version of fission, then we can smash things to bits with no side effects!
Kelley (Virginia, US)
13th July 2007 Our military consumes more fuel than any of 170 of the countries on the list. Perhaps we should address that issue.
Phil (NC)
1st October 2007 The problem is the general American public is a huge group of retards.
How about make the SUV ILLEGAL unless you have a useful work purpose or a family of more than 5?
Lets see- I'm a stupid American who drives a suburban and I'm going to complain when gas costs 3.25 a gallon and my vehicle costs 75 dollars to fill up...
ray (California, USA)
24th October 2007 This chart only shows oil usage, not total energy use, and isn't adjusted for energy efficiency. If you look at how much contribution to GDP energy makes on a per BTU basis, the US looks considerably different.
