Where US oil comes from vs where Americans think it comes from

– ¾ of Americans don’t know where the U.S. gets its oil from

– The U.S. only imports 40% of the oil it uses; the other 60% is produced in the U.S.

– Half of the oil the U.S. imports is from North and South America; only 28% of imported oil comes from the Middle East
