That 5.1 million barrels imported per day is down from 12.5 million barrels per day in 2005. It’s on track to drop another million in 2015 alone. Simply replacing the cars on the road, which average ten years old, with the average cars sold new today would drop it another 2 million barrels. And firing up the gas production which has been idled by lowered prices could drop it another 2 million. Then BAM!, we’re EXPORTING oil. And ours is on average very light and sweet, so at no net imports, we’re actually making a lot of money.
