I suspect that US fuel producers find it more profitable to sell their product overseas because of EPA regulations.

Might be hardpressed to find any real U.S. fuel producers now days...They are all international...They may sit upon U.S. soil but it seems to mean nothing to them...

They will suck the life out of Americans just as quick as they will anyone else...

They’re finding it more profitable to sell it overseas for several reasons: (1) there are more growth opportunities overseas (the article points out that domestic consumption is actually declining); and (2) with the U.S. dollar declining against many other foreign currencies the cost of U.S.-made fuel has declined for foreign buyers in recent years.
