The country that is causing the oil problems in the United States is the United States. With prices that are lower than most of the rest of the world, the United States consumer continues to buy cars that are less fuel efficient, and continues to drive with only one person in a vehicle 68% of the time. The United States has under 5% of the world's population, yet we consume over 25% of fossil fuels.
