Let's be straight about this: It ain't electric cars. Its e-bikes
This article says there are 2 million electric cars on the road in the US.
At 20 gallons of gas per month x 12 months x 2 million, that’s…
480 million gallons of gas saved.
That’s just the US.
There’s also no motor oil in these vehicles.

31.5 gallons in a barrel so your math shows 15Mbbl saved
Article says 1.8Mbbl
I'm missing the discrepancy
The article says 1.8 per day
