Cali may use more petrol, but China uses more oil (remember industrial use not just gas) according to this.
In 2006, Californians consumed an estimated 20 billion gallons of gas and diesel fuel on the state’s roadways... where China used 19.7 billion gallons. (That's 14% of the gasoline usage of the US)
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.
China uses 30% as much oil as us, but accelerating quickly.
One big hint for other uses of oil: plastics.Last edited by rwh11385; 07-28-2008, 03:02 PM.Comment

I guess your right, I read your statement about the Chinese using "so much" and recalled something I had read a week or so ago. I thought it was pertinent, Now I guess not.Comment

China, as a whole, isnt using as much oil as us. They are catching up. The real culprit is everyone. Places like China, Russia and India are expanding rapidly while the US and Europe continue their eponential growth.
The oil companies are still making around 14% profit, considerably lower margin than the company I work for. The only reason people consider it robbery is they do considerably more volume than my company.Im now E30less.

Here's a challenge for you, Piney: Go through my posts and find the "actual knowledge" that leads you to believe I'm a liberal.
I'll be happy to wait (even though you won't bother to back up your claim).
I'm not a liberal just because I know that John McCain SUCKS.McCain's military draft: Are you willing to bet your life?Comment
