Our single largest import is crude oil and tar sand and our single largest export is refined gasoline!
I'm not sure where it's currently standing, but they are trying to put a pipe line from the tar sand mine in Canada and run it straight to Texas where it will be refined in to gasoline and exported, stuff like that has very little impact on our gasoline prices because it's 100% export, it also shows that pretty much everyone else in the world is willing to pay more for gasoline then we are, but the refineries get huge tax breaks and kick backs for being here.
