- ben_w 8y agoThanks, that’s a good answer :)
- philipkglass 8y ago[1] says 92.2 million barrels of oil produced per day. [2] says 7.33 barrels / metric ton. That would put annual crude oil production at roughly ((92.2 * 10 ^ 6) / 7.33) * 365 = 4,591,132,332 (4.59 billion) metric tons. The implied answer "crude oil production dwarfs vegetable oil production" is still valid even after correcting the crude oil numbers, of course.
- thinkcontext 8y agoAck, I multiplied instead of divided. Thanks for the catch.
