John,
the latest figures I could quickly find off the net were 2008/09 season, 192 million US gallons for the 10 month season, that's 640,000 USgal a day. This season kicked off so heavy they were running the 4 loaded tanktrains within the first few days. 16 railcars are the equivalent of 28 truck units and on a 240 mile round trip.
