They have us over a barrel (wink). I was curious about how much domestic oil is
actually used in the US, and ran into this quote by the US Energy Information
Administration, part of the Dept of Energy. A big WTF - makes me wonder why
they stopped tracking it - pretty sure they used to:
How much of the oil produced in the United States is consumed in the United
States? The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) cannot determine the
exact amount of crude oil produced in the United States that is consumed, as
refined products, in the United States. However, most of the crude oil produced
in the United States is refined by U.S. refineries. The United States also
produces other liquids that are used in the refining process or that are added
to refined products. In June 2015, the United States produced an average of
about 9.3 million barrels of crude oil per day, about 4.1 million barrels per
day of other noncrude petroleum liquids, and about 1.1 million barrels per day
of biofuels.
The United States exports small volumes of domestically produced crude oil,
most of it to Canada, which may actually return to the United States as refined
products. EIA is not able to track how much domestically produced crude oil is
exported in the form of refined petroleum products.
In early 2011, the United States became a net exporter (exports were greater
than imports) of noncrude petroleum liquids and refined petroleum products.

Ollie,
These data reveal much and prompt many questions. For example, Saudi Arabia
has spent about 10 percent of their GDP on their own military. How come the
Saudis are not active in fighting ISIS or Al Qaeda as the US is doing? The
other members here could probably raise other significant trends.

Here's an interesting chart, GDP vs. defense budget for all countries. The US
is high at 3.5%, most other big spenders are in the Middle East and Africa.
Europe trends 1 to 2%. The chart also contains historical data, and US defense
spending has dropped by over 1% during the last 5 years, which is $167B
annually.

The US has an undisputed hold to the number 1 spot. Canada is ranked 20th and
Germany is surprisingly just above last in overall strength. Another
conundrum is that Egypt has about 1,000 Abrams M1A1 tanks, don't use them,
and are put in storage. What happens if ISIS take over their country?
