Wayners, it's an interesting question.. maybe it's because:

1) we don't ship all the gasoline abroad. we consume a substantial amount of it, so there isn't as much gasoline leaving as there is oil arriving. that means that there's more oil being shipped than gasoline being shipped. also most of the other developed countries that refine oil, consume a lot of the gasoline in their own country, so again, there's less gas shipped out than oil being shipped in.

2) the oil leaves from more places that are dangerous to navigate, and the gasoline leaves from and goes to more places that are safer to navigate.
