U.S. daily oil consumption.
I took the time to make this random image. It illustrates our daily consumption of oil by laying out the barrels on the map of the U.S. The purple line represents a 3-barrel stack of oil barrels. I sort of thought that 20,000,000 barrels of oil would at least go around the world, but she only gets about 1/3 of the way... this is based upon the Standard Oil Company's 42-gallon Blue Barrels, which are 24" in diameter.
