한 나라의 석유소비량은 그 나라의 國力 지표이다. 석유로 돌아가는 현대 사회에서 기름 소비량은 국가의 활동량이기도 하고 생산과 건설 규모이기도 하다. 미국이 세계 석유 소비량의 약24%를 점하여 단연 1위이다. 매일 2070만 배럴을 쓴다. 2위는 중국으로 매일 653만 배럴, 3위는 일본으로 535만, 4위는 독일 265만, 5위는 러시아 250만, 6위는 인도 245만, 7위는 인도 223만, 8위는 브라질 220만, 9위는 한국으로 215만 배럴, 10위는 프랑스로서 198만 배럴이다. 북한은 약200개 국가중 103등인데 하루 2만5000배럴을 쓴다. 한국의 80분의 1이다. 한국의 5일분 석유소비량이면 북한은 1년을 쓴다. 전쟁은 석유가 부족한 쪽이 진다. 북한이 핵개발과 단기기습전을 선택할 수밖에 없는 이유가 여기에도 있다.
