The military uses more diesel than anyone else. Sure half of the carriers and all the subs are nuclear, but none of our plethora of frigates and corvettes and cruisers are, not to mention the tanks, jeeps, and trucks.
The Department of Defense uses 4,600,000,000 US gallons (1.7×1010 L) of fuel annually
So 4’600 million per year for military.
Total diesel usage of the USA is roughly 20 million barrels per day, so 840 million gallons per day, so 300’000 million gallons per year. Roughly 2 % for military. I doubt that is the largest consumer. Transportation should easily be more with millions of trucks.
