Estimate the amount of gasoline consumed in 24 hours a day.
- Heather Kurtz
CQ:
-
Is it location specific – consider urban India
-
Use case for driving car or others as well like aeroplanes/jets/industrial use etc. – consider whatever being burnt on road by on-road vehicles
Assumption of total population: 140cr
Approach:
-
Urban -> 30% -> 50cr
-
No of families: 12.5cr (50/4)
-
Working population: 70% avg employment rate; also assume 1.5 people/family are working in an urban family: 12.6cr individuals
-
% population which travels for work: assume 30% work from home/local shops -> 8.5cr
-
Avg length travelled/day -> 2*4kms -> 8km
-
Total distance travelled: 68cr km
-
90% is unique assuming rest is combined travel: 61cr km
-
Gasoline burnt:
-
30% travel by car with avg mileage: 10km -> 1.8 cr litres
-
70% travel by 2 wheelers with avg mileage: 50km -> 0.8cr litres

If then I have to calculate for overall India, I can do so with for non-urban India as well
