Its not just crazy joe here though, I've seen this number bandied about by one particular party as well, and I'm just wondering how they arrived at it.

According to the USEIA the 'average' person uses 1200 litres of gasoline per year. Most families have more than one person, and one car.
Seems the estimate is pretty much bang on?
