This military photo shows one of 6000 US flights and 33,000 fill-ups over Afghanistan… which comes to 400 mil pounds of fuel, the largest supplier being, yep,  BP!

The 340th EARS is deployed to a base in Southwest Asia. Coalition tankers have flown greater than 6,000 sorties, offloaded greater than 400 million pounds of fuel and refueled nearly 33,000 aircraft as of June 30, 2010.)
