I still want to know, in layman's terms, why the heck we EXPORT so much oil, and why the heck we IMPORT so much oil???

Here are the 10 countries with the highest oil production:

United States (12,108)
Russia (10,835)
Saudi Arabia (9,580
Iraq (4,620)
Canada (4,129)
China (3,823)
United Arab Emirates (3,068)
Kuwait (2,652)

We import a lot of finished petroleum products because, word on the street is, our domestic refining capacity can't meet our demand for distillate products. Pick a day of the week, "they" offer a different reason why oil/distillates are so pricey.

Check calendars. Spring is upon us, time to trot out the refineries down for maintenance, gotta switch to summer formulation, the sun rose in the east today, blah, blah, blah......
