Oil Consumption Graph- Data Commentary


This graph compares the oil consumption of USA and Japan for the period of 1975 to 2004. This comparison is shown in the terms of oil consumption in millions of barrels per day. Graph shows that in spite of not having any domestic source of fossil fuel how Japan has been able to use the optional energy resources and maintained the oil consumption steady for couple of decades. Where in case of U.S, The oil consumption graph has risen gradually year-by-year.
From the graph we can see that for U.S. oil consumption went to first peak in 1976 period and again came back to normal in 80’s, and from then onwards oil concussion has gradually increased. While for Japan oil consumption is through out within the limit and has never gone very high even though country has developed drastically during this period. So, Overall from graph we can conclude that with the development of country Japan has also able to maintain the usage of fossil fuels.
Graph shows that oil usage for Japan was always in the range of 3 millions to 6 millions of barrel per day, But for U.S usages increased drastically from approximate 16 millions to 20 millions of barrel per day which clearly shows that U.S was not able to take advantage of natural and alternate energy resource to maintain the oil usage.
