Whoa. I had no idea the US was currently producing anywhere near as much fuel as it consumed, much less actually producing more. All my life I've heard people worrying about our dependence on foreign fuel. Wow.
Ah, yeah, I see what you mean. We're exporting more processed oil than we're importing, but still consuming more processed crude than we're exporting. I knew there was a reason I didn't want to make that comment, but I couldn't work out what was wrong with my line of reasoning (for some reason, I thought the article was including crude as a fuel, which of course it doesn't.)
Random WikiAnswers found via Google suggests about 5-10% of crude oil doesn't become fuel of some kind.
