Oilpan you are correct about 30% of crude is refined into gasoline and about another 20% is diesel and smaller fraction go towards kerosene/jet fuel.

If you look at the situation the low hanging fruit or largest single component gasoline, that is used by personal transportation can be reduced. Just like reducing your cumbersome debt. "pay your highest interest debts first" The replacement of the family car with an awesome EV will take a huge portion out of crude refinement.

Don't forget there is also a lot of petroleum burnt getting the gasoline to the pumps. The amount of energy spent getting fuel "from the well to the tank" is staggering.

There is a ban for operation of diesel vehicles for 4 major cities Athens,Mexico city,Paris and Madrid by 2025.

WAIT A MINUTE.....Ok now I'm just being an idiot !!! The real reason for an electric car!!! ITs JUST BETTER. Drive one, you'll understand.
