Latest figures from the CIAs World Factbook site (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/) put the US some way behind the UK in the production/consumption ratio.
US: Oil-production: 7.61 million bbl/day (2005 est.) Oil-consumption: 20.73 million bbl/day (2004 est.) UK: Oil-production: 2.075 million bbl/day (2004 est.) Oil-consumption: 1.827 million bbl/day (2004 est.) I'm pretty sure by now we are consuming more than we are producing, but it certainly hasn't increased the to ration you have across in the US. n. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of j maccraw Sent: 22 May 2007 13:26 To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Evil or.... Yeah yeah, I hear all the time from accross the pond how we shouldn't complain. Bah, we make a large part of our own oil so we should be complaining when that it's too expensive!
