Why is the United States becoming a net exporter of gasoline and other refined petroleum products? What might that
mean for the petroleum industry in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
The U.S. petroleum industry built a massive refining infrastructure in the 1990s and early 2000s. At the same
time, demand for gasoline in the United States declined as a result of government regulations and economic pressures.
The result is that the U.S. refining industry now imports raw petroleum, refines it, and exports the refined
products, meaning increased profits.
