- philipkglass 10y agoAs of 2012, all non-energy uses (including plastics) accounted for 16% of oil consumption. Industry accounted for ~9%. Transportation is ~64%. http://www.globalpetrolprices.com/articles/39/ http://www.globalpetrolprices.com/articles/39/ That's a worldwide figure. US oil consumption is even more concentrated on transportation.
