Ja globālā naftas piegāde šodien pēkšņi apstātos, lūk, cik ilgi lielākās ekonomikas varētu iztikt ar esošajiem neftes krājumiem:
🇺🇸 Amerikas Savienotās Valstis – ~200 dienas 🇨🇳 Ķīna – ~104 dienas 🇯🇵 Japāna – ~260 dienas 🇰🇷 Dienvidkoreja – ~210 dienas 🇸🇬 Singapūra – ~245 dienas 🇮🇳 Indija – ~25 dienas 🇵🇰 Pakistāna – ~3–5 dienas
