"We import gasoline, not just oil, "
Really? First I've heard of this. Details, please.
From ConocoPhillips site: (http://www.conocophillips.com/newsroom/other_resources/energyanswers/gasoline.htm#Refinery_produce_more_gas)
"Primarily because U.S. refining capacity hasn't grown as rapidly as gasoline demand, the shortfall has been made up with increased gasoline imports from Caribbean, Canadian and European refineries. Imported gasoline now accounts for about one out of every 10 gallons of gasoline sold in the United States. In the last 10 years, gasoline imports have risen by more than 60 percent."
From http://www.gravmag.com/oil.html:
"In addition to all the crude imported, the U.S. must import about 66 million gallons of refined gasoline because our refineries can't make enough "
( I was just doing some personal research over the weekend and was familiar with the info. )
