Rhino Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 This ought to be an eye opener for a lot of people. The Nov. 2005 data is the most recent I can find right now. BTW, Canadian oil imports have been steadily going up each year. Since at least 2001 Canada has been our leading source for imported oil. Many assume most of our imported oil comes from the middle east but as you can see from the map, less than 20% comes from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Re: Where do US Oil Imports Come From? LOL Buckee! That's pretty interesting Rhino,I had no idea that we get so little oil from the middle east.It makes no sense why some termoil or even rumors about termoil make fuel prices rise so much.In my mind we just stop buying oil from the middle east and get it somewhere else that appreciates the business.

We have sold ourselves short, when it comes to our natural resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganHuntr1 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Re: Where do US Oil Imports Come From? I think the main thing is OPEC. And not to mention the Oil is traded in U.S Dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
