But keep in mind that the oil companies are right now trying their best (and being blocked by the U.S. Govt) to drill MORE.
Also keep in mind that we need more oil refineries in the U.S. as well.
In 2011, the US exported 20 million gallons of gasoline to markets like China & India

Several East Coast refineries have closed down. So re-open them.

Also first the first time in decades, in 2011 the US was a net exporter of oil
