The duration that 5 million barrels of oil would last in the U.S. depends on the country's oil consumption rate. As of recent years, the U.S. consumes approximately 20 million barrels of oil per day. Therefore, 5 million barrels would last about 0.25 days, or roughly 6 hours, if the consumption rate remains constant. However, actual usage can vary based on factors such as seasonal demand, economic conditions, and changes in energy policy.
about 44.7 days
The U.S. consumes about 7.5 billion barrels of oil per year. So, 5 billion barrels would last just over 8 months at the current consumption rate.
US oil consumption in 2006 was 20,588,000 barrels/day (Wikipedia), = 2.0588 x 107. 112 billion = 11.2 x 1010. So this would last 11.2/2.0588 x 103 days = 5.44 x 103 days or 5,440 days = 14.9 years.
if im right 20 days
A supertanker can hold approximately 2 million to 3 million barrels of crude oil, depending on its size and design. The largest supertankers, known as ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers), can carry up to around 3 million barrels. This capacity allows them to transport significant quantities of oil efficiently across long distances.
The simple answer is that if refineries shut down the strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) would not help. The SPR consists of crude oil - unrefined products. While the US consumes about 21.4 million barrels per day of petroleum products, those barrels are refined products: gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, etc.

That depends what the barrels are of and how much the individual barrels weigh.
