That is 9.3M X 42 gal. per barrel=390.6M gals of gasoline a day, down 2.1 percent.
Was 9.55M bbls last year. Or 9.55M X 42 gals per barrel=401.1M gals of gasoline per day.
This means we are using 10.5M gals of gasoline less per day this summer so far.
Keep in mind gasoline only makes up less than half of our daily consumption of oil.
also keep in mind only 20 gals. of gasoline come from one barrel of oil.
the other 22 gals produces other products.
Is No. 2 diesel consumption up or down this year? Up 2%.
Summer we always use more fuel. Driving season.
If that could be reduced by 100M gals per day it would be a step in the right direction.
Higher prices should force better MPG and less trips over time.
A major downturn in the economy may force conservation.
What kind of gas mileage are you getting now and are you driving less?
My 4 banger is getting around 32 Hwy. and 24 city. I am driving less.
