Have you any idea what the milage of an eighteen wheeler is?


Yea, I do.
And if you think one burns 500 gal in a day, you don't.


And local delivery, which what was being disussed is the worst possible
situation for mileage with most of the driving done in stop and start
traffic and lots of time spent at idle during deliveries.

It may be a bit more than 1 days worth of fuel for such a truck, but
not many more.


In the US, the percentage of oil used for stationary uses, which includes
residential, commercial, industrial, and electricity generation, is
less than 20% of the total and falling every year.


But 20% is a significant number.


What part of less than 20% and falling is TOTAL stationary are you
failing to grasp?

Residential heating is a small percentage of the 20%.
