In 2020, about 123.49 billion gallons (or about 2.94 billion barrels ) of finished motor gasoline were consumed in the United States, an average of about 337 million gallons per day (or about 8.03 million barrels per day) and about 166 million gallons of aviation gasoline. Gasoline is one of the major fuels consumed in the United States and is the main product that U.S. oil refineries produce.

Excellent work John.
So, if we knew how many cars it takes to use that 123 billion galls, could we work out whether batteries are better or not by combining it with Richard's figures?
