Why does the US import oil? A. Because it does not produce any oil at all
B. Because it needs higher quality oil than it produces
C. Because it has exported too much oil to nearby countries
D. Because it is cheaper to import oil than to produce it
The correct answer is B. Because it needs higher quality oil than it produces.
While the U.S. does produce oil, certain grades and types of oil that are required for refining might not be sufficiently produced domestically. Therefore, importing oil allows the U.S. to access a wider variety of crude oil types that can meet its refining needs more effectively.
