La produzione USA di petrolio e i consumi carburanti

Diversamente da quanto è ritenuto comunemente, gli Stati Uniti sono forti importatori di petrolio più che produttori, il 49,3% è importato,  e il mercato di rifornimento è quello del Golfo Persico con quasi il 47%. Diminuisce il consumo di benzina rispetto a Maggio dell'anno passano, aumenta invece il consumo di gasolio-

Come riassume  l'API  American Petroleum Institute, (l' associazione nazionale che rappresenta tutti i segmenti del settore del petrolio e del gas naturale guidato dalla tecnologia americana.) nel suo specchietto mensile il tutto è ben evidente:
