NoSheesh, no wonder republicans are against critical thinking.
Your math = 50 million barrel's ~ 50 million gallons of petroleum
Did I get that right?
50 million barrels of oil X 45 gallons of petroleum per barrel = 2.25 Billion gallons of petroleum
From your source, the US uses 18 million gallons of PETROLEUM per day.
2,250,000,000 gallons of petroleum / 18,000,000 per day = 125 days.
No the US used approximatley 20 million barrels of oil per day. See below:
How much oil is consumed in the United States?
