Since we import far more crude oil than we export refined products, I would say we are importing extra to refine and sell the higher priced products.

We are far from a net exporter, but we do use the little surplus refining capacity that we have. It keeps more jobs in the US and helps the trade balance.

It was a fairly detailed article. But you had to get down to the bottom before they talked about exporting oil or condensates.
