Any idea how much oil we use in a day?

This place is far from a destination for anything but oil but you should see the oil terminals in Texas City and Bay Town Texas. Thankers arrive every hour of the day.

Heck the wake of the tankers is big enough that their are people who surf the wake for miles.

So....finishing the math....$8,958,853,920 or with the .01 Shilala surcharge... $8,959,860,533
$1,006,612.8 every day or $367,413,672 annually. And at that rate of income it would take you 160 YEARS to surpass Bill Gates. Assuming you didn't spend anything and he stayed the same.

Nice, now I'm even richer!!!
Bill can keep the record. I'll have a hard time spending just the million a day, since I decided it best just to make it the Official Shilala Surcharge. It'll take all day every day just to give it away. I'll hire you to give the money away on the days when I'm on vacation. I'll be doing a lot of diving starting the day I get my first check.
