growth and shrinkage
A summary of oil consumption changes from the 2008 BP Statistical Review via Net Oil Exports
What makes this interesting is the fact that the current production reserves are a few million barrels a day, largely from Saudi Arabia. That crude is mostly heavy/sour and not usable by many refineries in the US - or the rest of the world for that matter. If this trend continues for a few more years, oil would be *really* expensive. But few trends are linear.
