Oil in the Dakotas and Montana

>Now that seems to show you import much more gasoline than you export.

That was 2007. My numbers were for Apr 2008. Since demand has dropped for gasoline in the US, and we have excess refinery capacity, we export more than we import now.

From what I read from all the old timers on this here website most oil in Dakotas ends up coming out of the exhaust and getting deposited on jump suits! As a result I recommend rounding up as many old jump suits as can be found, wringing them out and refining the residue back into usuable petrol (sorry gasoline for you colonials :)

Indeed, you are correct. I just checked the April numbers.
Must be all those prius's that people are driving these days. ;)

Edited to add:

However, looking at this weeks numbers you imported more that you exported.

It seems to select just one month or week as an example is not useful.
