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

What is the daily consumption of diesel?

Daily diesel consumption varies widely by country and sector. Globally, it is estimated that around 4 million barrels of diesel fuel are consumed each day, primarily in transportation, agriculture, and industry. In the United States alone, daily diesel fuel consumption can exceed 4 billion gallons, driven by freight transport and other heavy-duty applications. Specific figures can fluctuate based on economic activity, seasonal demand, and fuel efficiency improvements.

How can price of a commodity impact on the equillibrium price and quantity of another commodity?

The commodities have to be somehow related - the price of lead won't affect the price of oats, or at least we hope it won't. There are a couple of ways this works. First consider directly related commodities...we'll say diesel, heating oil and jet fuel. These are essentially the same product, but they go to different users and so are processed differently once the basic fuel is obtained. There's only a certain amount of this fuel, so if they want to make heating oil less expensive in the wintertime or jet fuel less expensive in summer they increase the prices of the other two fuels to discourage their use. Next consider indirectly related commodities, such as diesel and wheat. It takes a LOT of diesel to produce wheat - you need diesel to plant, fertilize, harvest and transport it. If the price of diesel increases, the price of wheat also increases.
