    yes but how much of that gasoline was made from American crude oil? America has plenty of refineries, just none of them designed for American oil

      U.S. refineries generally focus on producing gasoline to meet U.S. market demand, and they produce nearly all of the gasoline sold in the United States.

      Supply chain wise it would be absolute lunacy to build processing systems which can only handle foreign materials, not your abundant national supply.
      Besides, crude oil us primarily classified based on density and sulphur content. It’s all hydrocarbons and a portion of all of it can be turned into gasoline. Light low sulphur (sweet) is preferred, but that is strictly due to yield and profit margins.
