The US uses a lot of oil because there are millions of cars in this country. There are also millions of motors that are not in cars that also use oil. There are several products that are made with oil as well.
There are a number of states within the US that have oil reserves. Oil comes from fossil fuels. Most of the oil on the planet was created during the geologic time known as the Carboniferous. Most of the states with reserves or oil fields are on the East Coast, West Coast, and in some southern states. California, for instance, has oil reserves. California's oil is one of the reasons that Los Angeles became a booming economy. However most oil is located just off shore.
In the U.S., oil is primarily drilled in regions like Texas, North Dakota, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico. Texas is home to the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing areas in the country. Other significant oil-producing states include Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The offshore drilling sites in the Gulf of Mexico also contribute substantially to U.S. oil production.
