That's true. The US produces 14 million bpd and consumes 21 million bpd which is more than any other single country.

US propagandists use a broad definition for what counts as petroleum products muddle the facts and call the USA a net oil exporter. The reality is that the USA must import at least 7 million barrels per day, even if they completely stop exporting.

    Where did you get those numbers? I know for gasoline/petroleum its roughly equal local production and consumption.
