More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency oil reserves release aimed at lowering domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices touched record highs.
The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden designed to lower record pump prices. Biden on Saturday renewed a call for gasoline suppliers to cut their prices, drawing criticism from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Congress should have that power. Outnumbered but it would expose some of them. Offer it free to Cuba-trickle-up economics. Just make them get rid of the communists.
This is insane!
Right now exporting oil from the reserve is exactly opposite what we need!
The foreign relations are bad. We could have war with Russia and/or China.
We could have a real depression.
We need to save oil, fill the reserve, not waste it, especially not to export it!
Treasonous.
That way to bring a country down is economically and this is part of that long slow plan.
Ridiculous. I know FBJ is against fossil fuels but this is outrageous!
Sounds about right.
Draining our emergency reserves and accomplishing nothing to lower gas prices either short term or long term, while increasing our national security risks at the same time.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris - change promised. Change delivered.
Another day, another in 10,000 cuts destroying America.
Yet fools still listen to Hollywood, CNN and MSNBC on how to think and vote.
The deck chairs, meanwhile, get shuffled on the Titanic.
The Strategic Oil Reserve is a finite resource that Biden is blowing through rather quickly. It will run out before too long if he keeps going. Then what?
Oh, and what happens in case of an emergency?
Comeon Peter Doocy!!! Corner KJP on this one pleeeze!!!
Let’s Go Brandon
There is nothing that Biden won’t sell.
His first wife was the lucky one.
“We could have war with Russia and/or China”
Given everyone using this forum knows this is a possibility then the administration knows it too.
That makes it deliberate destruction of our country.
Treason
Our LNG is also being shipped to Europe. Americans’ nat gas heating, cooking and hot water is going to skyrocket higher than it has at this moment. Europe is pretty cold during the winter and Biden will tell you that you have to sacrifice.
The pResident reminds me of the late Chavez of Venezuela.
I’d bet Biden will never re-fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
So was the election. And the baby food, and the allowing of people flood in from the south, the military purges, the “vax”. So long as Americans allow this to continue, it will only get worse.
This is overt, and entirely intentional.
The SPR is absolutely NOT private.
It is maintained by the DOE
Congress needs to stop this NOW
CRIMINAL!!
