    It’s Impressive how much oil the united states consumes, three times more than the second place. although if it’s measured by how much oil the US buys from other countries then it will give high data.. the question is what do the US do with all that? they refine it as Gas and sell it back to the countries that don’t have a refinery. that’s how it works in Mexico at least. Mexico gets crude oil, sells it to the US, and buy it back refined. I guess other countries do the same. the US is the World Trade Center, everything goes thru here.
