Correct me if i'm wrong:
85 million barrels; 159 litres per barrel
Total litres = 13.5 billion litres
Estimated human population about 6.5 billion people.
Divinding 13.5 by 6.5 we have 2.07 litres produced per every human.
Meaning that if we'd passed the responssability to every human being in the planet of producing some kind of liquid that after some treatment could replace oil, every one had to produce daily 2 litres of such liquid.
I don't drink that much water per day.

You should drink 64 ounces of water everyday to keep your kidneys working fine and all the other running bady parts. If you don't then you are not Cycling your body like it should run.

But then again niether do I. But I am half camel, and I have had Kidney Stones, 3 times in the past 2 years.

Nothing we have can at this time equal the power production like OIL can, not water, not Urine, and not coca-cola..... So given the energy density of OIL, we better start making some life changes soon.

2 litres a day! Even if I rendered down the wife, I figure that I'd only get about 13 litres of dripping. (Hmmm, I wonder though, maybe it would be worth it for one final week of driving pleasure!)
