Why is Europe less dependent than the US upon oil imports from the Middle East?

Europe gets much of its imported oil and gas from Russia. Moreover, the seabeds under the seas around northwestern Europe contain a lot of oilfields. Additionally, Europe uses significantly less gasoline than America does because more people use public transportation and energy efficient cars than do Americans.

What was the effect of the closing of this trade route for oil from the Middle East to Europe?
The Western World is very dependent on oil, and account for the overwhelmingly majority of oil imports. Although some of the world's largest oil producing countries are in Europe (Norway, the United Kingdom, etc.), the majority of the oil used comes from the Middle East because this region dominates the oil market. Cutting off the trade route for oil from the Middle East to Europe would greatly damage Europe financially.
