Convenient Lifestyle
Options to Choose
We have plenty of options for getting where we need to go because of energy delivered by pipelines. You can choose to drive yourself, ride an Uber or take mass transit because plentiful energy gives us so many options to choose.
AMERICA IS A BIG PLACE AND PIPELINES DELIVER ENERGY TO WHERE WE LIVE
The 50 million people in the Northeast corridor from Boston to DC live nearly 2,000 miles from oil-producing regions in west Texas and 1,700 miles from major refineries on the Gulf Coast. Local neighborhood gas stations receive their gasoline and diesel from tanker trucks delivering fuels from regional storage facilities connected by pipelines to refineries. Pipelines bring rural America propane for heating homes and barns, powering equipment and for drying crops. Pipelines deliver our energy to us.
Getting Where We Need to Go
The gasoline and diesel we put in our cars and trucks, that propels our Ubers and Lyfts, the jet fuel for the planes we ride, all at some point travels through a pipeline. The ability to get up and go gives us the lifestyle we want, visiting places we love with our friends and family.
PIPELINES BRING US THE FUEL WE NEED
Americans consumed 142 billion gallons of gasoline in 2019. That's nearly 20 million visits to a gas station per day. Each year, the average household drives over 450 trips by car or truck to and from work, 370 trips shopping, 290 trips running errands, and 295 recreational trips. 84,000 miles of pipelines deliver crude oil from major U.S. production areas to 135 refineries. Over 63,000 miles of pipelines are needed to deliver gasoline, as well as diesel and jet fuel from America's refineries to our local regions.
