The lack of refining capacity in the U.S. is becoming less of an issue as time goes on. The U.S. is now at a point where it doesn't just import raw crude oil -- we also import refined gasoline from other countries, too.
At some point in the future I can envision a scenario where we import 100% of our oil products, including gasoline.
