What the data shows
The unweighted country mean is 1,678.7 kg oil eq. per capita, compared with a median of 1,015.8 kg oil eq. per capita. Each reporting country has equal weight; this is not a population-weighted or regional aggregate. The gap between the two highest observed values is 977.9 kg oil eq. per capita. These comparisons describe the observations and do not establish causes.

Caveats
This is a selected-country comparison, not a global ranking. Missing countries may affect the distribution. A higher value does not necessarily imply a better outcome. Source observations may be revised.
