105 million barrels of oil/day globally, which is weirdly missing from that article. China consumes 16.189 mil b/d, 3x more than the 3rd place consumer India (5.271 mil b/d)

As feels all too normal these days, US consumption is difficult to know - Trump/DOGE have utterly destroyed the agency responsible for calculating it after they reported a reduction in consumption. Most estimates put it at around 19 mil b/d, based on the increase in US EVs (7%) and the sharp reduction in driving due to the high price of oil as a result of the iran war.
