yea, I think it was 800 thousand barrels, not million from Alta. my bad.

Still, if you want to sit down and figure out total imports, find the total amount of gas/diesel made from the crude, then you will be able to guesstimate average daily consuption. There's no way I believe the 375 million gallon number. Maybe thats what the airline industry alone burns. (or Nazi Pelosi burns flying back and forth to washington)

From the link I provided above: Total crude oil imports averaged 10.348 million barrels per day in March, which is an increase of 1.299 million barrels per day from February 2007.

a refinery makes about 19.5 gallons of gas from each Barrell of oil. therefore we get, 25,330,000 gallons of gas per day from imported oil.

That does not sound right, and should be much higher (logically speaking).
