I think the US is still a crazy outlier regardless of how much oil they produce.

They use double the oil of the entire EU despite having half the population.

Triple the usage of ASEAN despite having a little less than half the population.

Five times the usage of India despite India having four times the population.

I believe personal transportation is something like half of all oil use globally last I checked.

I don’t even think it’s about getting rid of your car entirely, it’s about a wild amount of dependence and a crazy economic incentive system where a 20mpg work truck has been the most popular vehicle in the country for decades. 100% of trips taken per week needing a car is a big consumption difference than 70% of trips taken per week needing a car.
