It takes approximately one barrel of crude oil to manufacture one passenger vehicle tire, so please don't try to push the line of shit that EVs don't use oil, they most certainly do.

So four barrels every few years, versus a barrel every week or two for gas cars (one barrel nets around 20 gallons of gas) (and still 4 barrels every few years for tires anyway.)
