According to this piece in the Seattle Times, Americans used 8.93 million barrels of gasoline a day in 2003. A barrel holds 42 gallons, so that's roughly 375 million gallons per day.

Over the past five years, gas consumption has increased annually at a rate of 1.6 percent, on average. So it's probably not surprising that come summer, Americans will use even more of the fuel. A recent Bloomberg article states that the U.S. government projects that in the summer of 2004, the daily consumption rate will be 9.32 million barrels (or about 391 million gallons).

For a look at the demand for gas by week (and a comparison to previous years), motor on over to the Energy Information Administration's web site. While you're there, you might want to check out the average price of a gallon of regular gas.

The Congressional Budget Office states that gasoline used in motor vehicles accounts for about 43 percent of U.S. oil consumption and about 11 percent of world oil consumption. It also accounts for 20 percent of U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide.

If you're looking to decrease your share of gas consumption, the Department of Energy and the EPA offer a Fuel Economy Guide that allows you to compare mileage rates on new cars.

really hope this helps =]
