Around the world?

The US uses 15 million barrels per day average.
One barrel is 42 gallons, but it makes about 20 gallons of gasoline.
15*20 million is 300 million gallons per day for the US alone.
According to the EIA its 384 million gallons per day.

The world consumes 83,990,000 barrels per day, or about 1,679,800,000 gallons of gasoline. Yes thats about 1.6 billion gallons. Dividing that by the world population its only about 0.25 gallon - one quart of gasoline per day, per human being on the planet.

The USA burns only about 25.6% of the gasoline in the world, but only has about 300 million people, so it burns more than a gallon per day per person in the US.

Whatever percentage of the 85 Million barrels of oil used worldwide daily are used as gasoline (my guess about 60%). One barrel is 42 gallons.
Thus over 2 Billion gallons.
