3 years sounds about right.

Last time I checked, a billion is a thousand million.

Yep, 20 million per DAY. So 1000 days is approaching 3 years. I said it was really rough in the numbers. Since its not actually 20 million per day and more like 19.some millions.

Bayard said: US consumes almost 20 million barrels of oil a day, so 20 billion divided by 20 million that is about 3 years worth of oil.

20 billion divided by 20 million days equals 1,000 days. 1000/365 = 2.739 years.

What am I missing?
