This is sorta halfway there, maybe a better analogy would be "the amount of milk america drinks in two weeks"? Although it doesn't sound particularly severe. avg american drinks 25 gallons of milk a year, an avg household of 2.59 people, 184 million gallons oil, and ~population of 307 million. (307,006,550 people) / (184 million gallons / ((25 gallons / (52 weeks)) * 2.59 people)) = ~2 weeks
