League Table of Most Oil-Efficient Economies

At least for those countries that BP had oil consumption data for.

A few surprises here. Bangladesh would not usually be thought of as best positioned to do well in an era of oil scarcity! And look at the famously dense and bike-friendly Netherlands down there below the United States. Perhaps no surprise that the bottom of the rankings are dominated by oil exporting nations.

I wonder what the table for GDP/imported barrel would look like.
