I don't know if the US uses more than the rest of the world -combined-, but we certainly use a LOT of oil.
You should just google this, man.

The United States uses about 27% of the worlds energy and produces about 25% of the goods made in the world. This puts us pretty much in balance in the energy/production part of the equation. Best yet we produce all these goods with only about 5% of the world's population. We are extremely efficient in this regard and much more productive than any other country.
To take these numbers and say that we only have 5% of the population and yet use one-fourth of the energy is a deceitful statement put forth by America haters implying that we are wasteful and slovenly.

It relies upon on what element of the conflict you're relating, the very commencing up of the conflict united states of america of america view Japan because of the fact the bigger danger as there replaced right into a terror of invasion, whether because of the fact the conflict went on and the thought that Japan knew they could purely wish of thrashing united states of america of america interior the 1st 6 months, then the danger moved to Germany, Japan went on the protecting after the defeat at halfway in 1942, Germany replaced into nonetheless a significant offensive danger nicely into 1944.

I think we use about 25% but we only have < 5% of the world population.
Fly boy
I believe that your argument is a circler one. We may produces about 25% of the goods made in the world. We consume more than 25% of the goods made in the world, after all the cars and electronics that are imports.
It still comes down to < 5% of the world population using >25% of the world oil, to produces about 25% of the goods made in the world, that we consume OURSEVES.
When was the last time we had a trade surplus?

No. The US uses about one fourth of the world's total oil consumption.

No. China recently took over the unflattering lead for greatest oilconsumption. But the americans use far more oil per person than any other nation suggesting they waste alot more.
