I believe U.S. law prohibits the export of crude oil. More likely, the figures here relate to refined oil products, which producers in the U.S. are permitted to export.

Yes, we're still importing oil -- and lots of it. What has changed is that we're importing it from different places than we used to. Since 2000 both Canada and Mexico have surpassed Saudi Arabia as the largest foreign suppliers of crude oil to the U.S.

Thanks. It certainly would be nice if we could cut off both Mexico and all the Moslem states ...
