"I always had in the back of my mind the idea that those rainy day strategic oil reserves would be enough to buy the U.S. at least 2 years of freedom and maybe 4 or 5 years of relative dependence on outside sources for oil"

There is less than a 40 day supply of oil in the SPR. <800 M barels and we use (in good times) 20 M BPD. However, only 4.4 M BPD can be released/day, so it will take about 200 days to totally empty it.
