How Much Oil Does It Take To Make One Car Tire?
According to the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA), it takes about seven gallons of oil to create a standard car tire.
More Oil Facts
One barrel of oil (42 gal) can make approx. 19 gallons of gasoline.
If our rate of consumption remained the same, the oil below our earth’s surface would last for approximately 53 more years before running out.
The world uses approx. 85 million barrels of oil each day. The US uses approx 19.8 million barrels each day.

- i meant to say current consumption, regardless, but there is still enough oil for next 1000 yearshotroddy
- @dorf: it's not exponential growth, it's linear and it will stop at 11billionuan
