"The last figure I heard is that we use 13% of the world's oil. "



Your figure isn't accurate.

In 2004, domestic production of 5.4M barrels/day was 13% of the world's total production.

But our consumption is more than 25% of the world's oil and about 45% of the world's gasoline - and we harbor just 5% of the world's population.

Thanks. I stand corrected. It was a figure I heard on the radio the other night, and truthfully, it sounded a bit weak to me when I heard it.
