Well I know for a fact that the US imports gasoline from South Korea into the US west coast.

Yes, on average since 2004 we get 4,000 barrels per day from South Korea, about 1/2,500 of the gasoline we use.

U.S. Imports by Country of Origin, Finished Motor Gasoline

Where does that oil come from? Most likely a place like Indonesia.

I don't know what to make of those gasoline import statistics for South Korea. They look like official US government statistics, but I think they are incorrect. They look very low compared to other articles I've read. Those stats say we're importing more gasoline from Lithuania than from South Korea...lol. Here's an article from May 2004 on Bloomberg that says we imported a million barrels of gasoline from South Korea in April of 2004. I would think today we're importing just as much, but I'll have to do some more research.
