There is a LOT to chew on here. For example, the US uses 3x more oil a day than #2 China (though maybe this is changing, what with China consuming more...). And do these numbers include gas & oil consumption by the US military?

Also, I find myself wondering if there are  numbers for other types of energy consumed...nucleur, wind, solar, water power, etc., and then compare those with these, etc.

Anyway, IF there are big changes in oil availability, the high users will be the hardest hit, I would assume anyway...

You can also look at the consumption per capita (click on the "per capita" tab. There are tons of other Energy Statistics (just click on the link and enjoy the list).

The high users are the ones that can absorb a given change in availability with the least percentage change. Which is why it makes a lot of sense to pressure the US about oil consumption.

By the way, one of the advantages (for us) of the wikipedia lists is that they generally include the aggregate EU amounts (about 14.5 Mb/day)
