Oil produced in the US does not get refined/used in the US.
Light crude vs heavy which we get from SA.
Refineries just have to be reconfigured for whatever grade is nearby in storage: https://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2025/02/us-refiners-mull-switch-to-alternative-lighter-crudes-amid-trump-tariff-fears/
Just wait until next summer when more Alaska capacity is online and refinery situation is sorted. $1.99/gal and lower is on the way in most Red states.
😢 Well... lol... so... 🤣
Why the U.S. can’t use the oil it produces
