Up Front Disclaimer: The data used for compilation/calculation are 2010 numbers. It pertains only to crude oil, and not refined distillates, though those numbers are not much greater
I've done some rudimentary calculations to determine an answer. I'm curious to see how aware US Consumers are of just how much crude oil the US imports from the Persian Gulf. More importantly, what percentage of total US oil consumption originates from the Persian Gulf. Keep in mind this data was collated based not on OPEC, but specifically Middle Eastern or as it's more derogatorily known "Arab" Oil.
I'll post up links to the data and the numbers I arrived at later in the thread. For now, I'd just like to see the average opinion
