The Oil Drum: Consumption Winners and Losers

Continuing with exploration of what’s in the new BP report, I wanted to update information on how consumption changed in various countries as a result of the tightening of world supplies through 2005. I looked at this question in Who has to conserve how much? based on EIA data, but the BP data breaks out a lot more countries.

Let’s start by looking at those countries that reduced their usage from 2004 to 2005, ordered by the absolute change in usage…the surprising leader was India, with the US closely following behind. After that we get mostly European countries, with a scattering of middle income developing countries in there too.
A ridiculous number of informative charts and stuff after the jump to The Oil Drum.
