Gas Prices
U.S. oil is like a kitchen with steak but only a toaster—our light crude is sold abroad while our refineries handle heavy crude, tying us to global prices.
"Think of U.S. oil like having a kitchen full of steak but only owning a toaster. We produce 'light' crude, but our refineries are built for 'heavy' crude. We’re forced to sell our steak to the world and buy bread from others because that’s what our equipment handles. We’re the world’s biggest producer, but we’re still tied to global prices because our infrastructure can’t bridge the gap."
