And you're posting this to a newsgroup frequented by people who are

And the top 2 countries that the USA imports its petroleum products
from aren't even in OPEC.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html
Top 15 countries for Jan/Feb 2007:
Canada
Mexico
Venezuela *
Saudi Arabia *
Nigeria *
Algeria *
Angola *
Iraq *
Virgin Islands
United Kingdom
Russia
Ecuador
Kuwait *
Brazil
Trinidad and Tobago
* denotes country is currently a member of OPEC
If you look at totals for all petroleum imports into the US, all non-
OPEC countries combined is more than all OPEC countries combined.
