For 2005 the total consumption of oil world-wide averaged 82.459 Million barrels per day. This is from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy which was published in June of 2006.
The total consumption for the world grew by 1.3% in 2005 over 2004. The increase in consumption of oil over the past decade has been 15.7%. The increase since 1985 (20 years) has been a whopping 28.4%!! Over the past 40 years the world's daily consumption of oil has grown by 62%!
(that 76 million bbl/day figure is from 2002)

If you include all uses of oil (adding, e.g., power generation), daily production, and therefore average consumption, is 76 million barrels. (1 barrel = 42 gallons.) See the reference.
