I did a little research and arithmetic, as follows:

World currently consumes 80+ million barrels of oil per day (80Mbbl/da).

There are 42 gallons per barrel (42g/bbl)

     80Mbbl/da * 42gal/bbl = 3360Mgal/da
     3360Mgal/da is 3360 million gallons of oil per day

There are about 264 gallons per cubic meter (264gal/cu.m)

     3360Mgal/da / 264gal/cu.m = 9.2Mcu.m/da
     9.2Mcu.m/da is 9.2 million cubic meters per day

There are 365+ days per year (365+da/yr).

     9.2Mcu.m/da * 365+da/yr * 1000yr = 3358000Mcu.m
     3358000Mcu.m = 3.358MMcu.m
     3.358MMcu.m is 3.358 million million cubic meters

Please, someone check my arithmetic and research. I am a bit dyslexic, 
and sometimes cannot see my errors. This figure is incredible to me, due 
to the following:

According to hypertextbook.com there are 1.347e9cu.m of water in the 
oceans (1.347e9cu.m is 1.347 thousand million cubic meters).

If my calculations are correct, 1000 years of oil consumption (not 
accounting for future increased consumption) would use more than 2000 
times as much oil as there is water in the oceans.
