Someone asked this on another forum :
Quote: We use roughly 1/2 of oil consumption for motor vehicle fuels of all types. The other 1/2 includes home heating oil, boiler fuel for other buildings and powerplants, lubricants, industrial feed stock, and other purposes. Anyone have a breakdown of what percentage of oil use goes to each category?
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks! _________________My PO Amazon store (shameless plug) .
