I would like to know how many gallons of gas are sold in America in a year. Anyone know this number?

Then multiply it by the federal tax of 16.1 cents a gallon (I believe thats the amount) and see what the government "profited" in the past year.

I would like to know how many gallons of gas are sold in America in a year.

in Aug 2005, 397,068,000 gallons per day. That is only gasoline. Total refined product 804,972,000 gallons per day.
