The United States consumes an average of 20 million barrels of oil per day (bbl/d, according to the Department of Energy. Of that, about 45 percent is used for motor gasoline. The rest is used for distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, residual fuel and other oils. Each barrel of oil contains 42 gallons (159 L), which yields 19 to 20 gallons (75 L) of gasoline. So, in the United States, something like 178 million gallons of gasoline is consumed every day.
In 2010 the United States consumed a total of 19.15 million barrels per day (MBPD).
19.15 multiplied by 365 = 3,989.75 million barrels of oil which equals 4 billion barrels of oil consumed in 2010.
One barrel of oil is equal to 42 gallons so 4 billion barrels = 168 billion gallons of oil consumed in 2010.
