Another thread human did the math:

Fun math time!
The US, by itself, uses roughly 3.83 million barrels of diesel per day. ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/1320482/monthly-us-diesel-consumption/ )

There are ~157 liters per barrel, so the US uses ~600 million liters per day.

There are roughly 1176 liters per ton.

The vaunted 300 000 tons is 352 million liters. A little more than half a day's usage.

This is nothing.

Also, bomb the ports and refineries.
