>>507287723We don't really produce our own domestic gasoline.
Oil products are not uniform, and depending on where you extract them, they can have drastically different chemical compositions and require different refining techniques.
The oil extracted in USA soil is mostly light oil which we sell abroad. The oil we actually end up using domestically and refining is heavy oil from the middle east.
So even though people say we produce enough oil from fracking and other bullshit - the caveat is that we can't actually use any of it. Our oil infrastructure is built around importing middle eastern shit and our companies are greedy jews too lazy to spend any money building up infrastructure to process the light oil.
So when people say "drill baby drill" - none of that oil will ever go into your gas tank. It literally just goes in the gas companies pockets as they sell it somewhere else globally instead. It's just a talking point that people fall for easily so some billionares make more billions, meanwhile you're still fucked.
