According to the United States Energy Information Association, Americans use 378 million gallons of gasoline per day, which is equal to 9,034,000 barrels of oil per day.
According to the United States Geological Survey, "between 3 and 10.4 billion barrels are estimated" to be available and recoverable in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
At best, this would only provide enough gasoline to sustain current consumption rates for roughly three years.
