Americans, who already use more oil per person than Europeans, are consuming more as the economy stagnates. A Federal Energy Administration study shows per capita energy use remains high due to big cars and single family homes. Officials warn continued imports and weak conservation could drive up unemployment and costs, while IEA targets aim to curb oil inflows to pressure OPEC on prices.
