NYCCT student? Approximatelly: Gasoline = 133 billion barrel Diesel = 64 billion barrel Kerosene (aircraft fuel) = 17 billion barrel
How is the United States' consumption of fossil fuels affecting the supply and demand of these products?
4x10^10 gallons I would ignore this nonsense answer if it wasn't ranked so highly by Google. While I have no intention of providing an Answer that is broken down by State, I would like to at least debunk the "4x10^23 gallons" I found US Energy Information Agency annual consumption data at this site: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_cons_psup_dc_nus_mbbl_a.htm The EIA lists 2007 US Consumption of all forms of Distillate Fuel Oil ("Diesel") as 1,531,508,000 Barrels, or 64,323,336,000 US Gallons = 6.4x10^10 US Gallons
Oil fuels - the number one export for the US in 2011, by value, was gasoline and diesel fuel.
Cars can be adapted to run on a wide range of renewable fuels by using diesel engine. The diesel engine is one of the most effective energy converters available to us today.
The US by far consumes the most. Common fossil fuels are natural gas, oil and coal. I've included a link on oil consumption showing the major consumers. China is number 2 in oil consumption but its per capita consumption is much less.

Until the alien comes and destroy us, fossil fuel will last forever
Watts = joules / secondYou need to divide the total annual energy consumption by the number of seconds in a year (which is about 31.5 million).
Fuels are useful to us because they provide energy for various purposes such as powering vehicles, heating homes, generating electricity, and manufacturing products. They are a convenient and reliable source of energy that can be easily stored and transported for use when needed.
IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:- 1. theoretically--- For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load. for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load) (20x0.75)x232 therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr 0.85x1000 here 0.75 is for 75% load 0.85 is density of diesel 1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres
We use propane and butane as petroleum fuels. Octane is used as petrol. Candle wax, diesel and tar are also mainly composed of hydrocarbons.
