How many gallons of water do Americans waste every day?

Answer 1

Let's see.

For one person, its about 6 gallons.

So, 6 * 250,000,000 = 1.5 billion

theres a problem with your answer, the 250,00,000 population includes plenty of people who don't own cars. the actual number is closer to 800 million gallons per day. i got my number through the US using an estimated 360 million gallons (44% of global gasoline use) per day.
18700000000

Answer 2

I assume this is underestimated if Americans consume approximately 20.8 million barrels of oil a day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_consumption).

One barrel of oil equals 42 gallons, then 873.6 million gallons are consumed each day. Approximately 305.8 million Americans (http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html ).

Equates to 2.86 gallons per person per day or 1,042.7 gallons a year per person in America.

Answer 3

In total we use 20.68 million barrels per day. So, if we divide this by the US population (303 million), we use per person, 0.068 barrels of oil per day. This is 2.86 gallons. It is also 24.9 bbls/year per person. See related link.

Answer 4

On average, Americans waste around 80-100 gallons of water per day, mostly due to inefficient habits like leaving faucets running or taking long showers. Reducing waste through water-saving practices can help conserve this valuable resource.

Answer 5

About 14,000,000,000 gallons a day! think about it.

Answer 6

25mm barrels of oil are used every day in the USA.

Answer 7

The United States uses approximately 134.5 billion gallons of oil per year. That's equivalent to a daily average of 368.5 million gallons of oil.
