Gas consumption per day: U.S. vs. Rest of the World

July 12, 2007 by Paul Spoerry 1 Comment

For anyone still confused about global politics, this pretty much sums it up. We consume more gas than anybody else per day… in fact, we consume more than everybody else combined per day.

Of course you could try to explain that by our urban sprawl… or by the vast size of our nation. Then again, Russia is pretty darn big too. ;O)

There has been a push to try to force the auto makers into creating more fuel efficient cars. They always push back claiming it will cost to much. But if you tie together our current use and then show how other countries (who consume far less) have tried to implement legislation that required higher fuel standards you see we are horribly behind the rest of the world:

Before you start calling me a hippie… I do drive a car, though I work remote so I don’t consume all that much. Beyond that there is no reasonable form of public transit in Saint Louis.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
