1 " The United States uses nearly 21 million barrels of oil a day. That amounts to a staggering 25 percent of total global consumption. Of the oil we use, we import over 65 percent, or 13.5 million barrels, each and every day. That number has risen from 37 percent in the 1970s, at the time of the Arab oil embargo, and 58 percent in 2000. "
