In response to the idea that the US should make illegal all exports of oil and oil products, and keep all domestic production for domestic use.
"Does the U.S. export oil? Surprisingly, yes - but the amount is trivial, about 20,000 barrels per day vs. our 10,000,000 and more b/d imports. All exported crude goes to Canada, where it is likely refined and sent back as gasoline."

Edit: Additionally, a small % of Alaskan production goes to export to South Korea and Japan.
