Good question...where does one find the answer?

My favorite place is the Census Bureau, oddly enough.

They have for 2003 that we bought 3,676,006,000 barrels, at $99,167,171,000, at an average price of $26.98 per barrel. That would be around 6.5% of our total imports ($1,517,011,000,000) for 2003 by dollar value.
