text: I don't get what is the relation with the OPEC question and Israel. Israel is hardly an influence in any OPC decision about the cost of oil.\n\nAnyway:\n\nIsrael consumes about 270,100 barrels/day. Ranks #42 worldwide. It amounts to 0.43 barrels per day per 10 persons (ranking #35 worldwide). \n\nIsrael needs oil like any other country in the world.
