Well, if oil really is a fungible commodity then this is true and US fuel prices would not be affected.
Man, the people with big bucks play the American public like an old record.
We'll never be energy independent unless only everything over US consumption plus a few percent can be exported because there will always be "market reasons" to buy foreign oil and "national security" reasons to sell oil and gas both of which will serve to drive the price of fuel in this country up to the level it's at in Europe.
That's the goal, that's the endpoint, and all this "free market" trash is no different than banks gambling and getting to keep their winnings while the Taxpayer has to cover their losses.
If being able to export everything that's surplus to our needs isn't sufficient incentive then the BS about oil and gas being tough to recover and/or in short supply is total garbage just to keep the price up.

Our oil reserves should remain our oil reserves.
Depleting our oil reserves only to run out and have to depend on other nations again makes no sense whatsoever.
We don’t need to create jobs exporting our precious resources so other countries can take the remaining American jobs.
We need to keep our oil and raise import tariffs, so that production moves back to the U.S.
Create jobs? Well you can stick a fork in that idea then.
