Barack Obama will 'Save the Planet' with a Tire Gauge.
Currently, Americans use 390 million gallons of gas a day
There are about 20 gallons of gas in each barrel of oil
there are another 26 gallons of other petroleum products--diesel (9 gallons), jet fuel (4 gallons), and other distillates.
with the 1.35 million barrels a day that were produced from offshore drilling in 2004.
----------------------------------------------------------
The latest figures I can find show that 1,350,000 barrels of oil per day were produced from offshore drilling.
A barrel of oil contains about 20 gallons of gasoline, 9 gallons of diesel fuel, 4 gallons of jet fuel and 13 gallons of other distillates used for plastics, soaps etc.
Offshore drilling provides approximately:
1) Gasoline 25,238,979 gallons per day.
2) Other oil byproducts 16,404,930 gallons distillates per day.
3) Diesel 11,357,483 gallons per day.
4) Jet Fuel 4,047,447 gallons per day.
Currently, Americans use 390 million gallons of gas a day. The entire offshore drilling is 25,238,979 gallons of gasoline per day.
Government statistics say 27% of American vehicles are underinflated.
27% of all Gasoline used by American vehicles equals 105,300,000 gallons of gasoline per day.
If all 27% of American vehicles are driving around with underinflated tires and need tune ups and could save 10% of the gasoline used - that would equal 10,530,000 gallons of gasoline per day.
That is a significant number of gallons of gasoline and conservation should be practiced.
The Obama energy solution states that 10,530,000 gallons of gasoline saved would equal the 23,238,979 gallons of gasoline produced by off-shore drilling? huh?
The Obama-'Inflate your tires and have tune-ups' energy plan does NOT equal off shore oil drilling.
Off shore oil drilling NOW produces approx 58,050,000 gallons of useable oil products per day.
Obama-Messiah states that "10,530,000 = 58,050,000" - any fifth grader knows that is NOT TRUE - perhaps Obama-Novice should hire a fifth grader to teach him arithmetic.
