Iran isn't on the list...
Correct. Saudi Arabia (4%) and Iraq (3%) are.
But the fact that we don't buy much from them does not displace the fact that others *do*.
Those others will be seeking other sources during the disruption, and may well buy from us ...
which means competing (on price and capacity) with American drivers for the fuels that we refine, import and export.

Why would anyone that is already buying Iranian oil be denied? Do you still have your Ukraine flag out in the front yard too?

The previous YouTube i linked to described the way the money and command flows in terms of vessel traffic in Hormuz.



Today's update: (including economics, the ship-hit is only a tiny bit of the posting)

You didn't expect that?
As soon as it becomes a big problem, it will probably be eliminated.
They are lobbing missiles at everyone right now....
BTW we (US) are supposed to be protected from the world oil market, especially Alaska oil which specifically was guaranteed to never be on the global market, it was only for us, not sure how BP got their mitts on it, more than likely there are a lot more suitcases of cash changing hands with our politicians.....

According to that article, 20% of the global oil goes through the straights of Hormuz.
Even if we didn't control it, rerouting 20% of the oil should not add a lot to the final cost of oil products, if oil prices rise dramatically, it is only because the oil companies can screw us in any direction they want and never see resistance from our elected officials......

Oil is (mostly) fungible ... if other countries are willing to pay a higher price, we'll export it to them instead of self-consumption.
(the same is true for refined products)

Oil is a global commodity, and the price is set on the global market. US oil trades at global prices.

I noticed here in Charlotte NC, price jumped on diesel about .40 and EVERY station is now 3.99 a gallon...

Ugh.

It's just out of convenience. Wawa diesel was almost $.50 more per gallon.
Now Green will only go there to dine on his $2000.00 a month dining out budget. :smirk:
