Oops.. well egg on my face! I thought you were about my age but obviously I was wrong. Maybe you don't remember the oil embargo then. We were importing very little oil then but it still caused big gas lines that the country had not experienced since WWII.

Yup.. I agree with your oil numbers. Roughly 50% imported now vs close to 70% in summer of 2008. I doubt very much that we will ever see us burn 21 million bbls again in this country ever...
