"How Much Oil Does the U.S. Import (In Barrels Per Year)?
Note: focusing solely on oil used for car gasoline, excluding cooking oil and other uses.
Step 1: Estimate Total Cars in the U.S.
U.S. Population: 300 million
Adults with Driver’s Licenses (DLs): 60% of the population are adults who drive
300M × 0.6 = 180M adults with DLs
Car Ownership: Assume 90% of adults with DLs own cars
180M × 0.90 = 160M cars
Note: We are disregarding electric cars, buses"
