The United States uses 20 percent of the world's oil. With a population of 318,929,000 people as of 2014, the United States is the 3rd most populated country in the world.
On average, humans consume around 100 million barrels of oil per day worldwide. This oil is used for various purposes, including transportation, heating, and industrial processes.
The component present in the highest percentage would be the solvent or carrier substance used in the product formulation. This is often water or an oil base, depending on the type of product.

Chemical energy is used by all living matter. Solar power is another heavily used energy source, as it is used by most plants, and many animals.In terms of use by humans for electricity:Fossil fuelsNuclear powerHydroelectricWind powerNuclear powerGeothermal power
The Energy Information Administration, a part of the Department of Energy, keeps detailed statistics of production, consumption and imports of oil, as well as other energy streams. I recommend downloading and looking through their Annual Energy Review. Roughly speaking, we import about two thirds (66%) of our petroleum, though that number varies from year to year.
