Quote:
Despite the declines in North America and Europe, world petroleum consumption is increasing. Last year the world’s consumption of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, heating oil, and other petroleum products reached a record high of 88.9 million barrels per day (bbl/d), as declining consumption in North America and Europe was more than outpaced by growth in Asia and other regions.

I believe the graph is showing annual change, not total. So, 07/08 was the only period shown where there was a net global decline.
