Oil Demand in the U.S.

Oil Demand in the United States of America is a huge concern with everyone who has to pay at the pump. The demand has caused a great increase of the price at the pump. Even though everyone who drives a vehicle has to suck-it-up and pay the price. My essay will explain to you how that demand affects all of us and what we are doing to lower the demand. Our economy runs on oil. You raise the price of the barrel and the price of the trucker who ships the produce raises its fee. In the end the produce seller has to sell its product at a higher price in order to make a profit. The US is currently relies mostly on the Middle East for oil. Electrical and hydrogen vehicles are currently being developed to reduce the oil demand. Flex-Fuel vehicles are now in production which consists of a mixture of 85% ethanol per gallon.
