The oil is stored in salt domes of fixed capacity.Unless Congress authorized increased capacity,or an executive order were directed towards it,we'd be stuck with whatever the current volume is.
One thing though,as we move more and more into smart weapons,the military's and strategic manufacturing needs for petroleum only decrease over time,so top planners may see no need for enhanced capacity.That's way above my pay grade.
