The United States is the second largest energy consumer in terms of total use in 2010. The U.S. ranks seventh in energy consumption per-capita after Canada and a number of small countries. Energy consumption has increased at a faster rate than energy production over the last fifty years in the U.S. This difference is now largely met through imports.
U.S. consumes 20.8 million barrels of petroleum a day, of which 9 million barrels is motor gasoline. Transportation has the highest consumption rates, accounting for approximately 68.9 percent of the oil used in the United States. The petrol price based on PPP is $0.76 and diesel price is $0.84.
