According to the DOE(US Department of Energy) as of March 2004, we import more crude oil from Canada, than we do from any other single nation, like 1.583 million barrels PER DAY.Same is true for total petroleum, 2.087 million barrels PER DAY, from Canada.

Of all the profits made from oil, OPEC recieves the smallest share, like 1/3.So to say they are directly responsible for gas prices is BS.Like I said on the previous page, importing governments and the transportation companies make(by far) the most profit from oil.If our government, the transport companies, and their insurance companies didn't make so much, gas prices would be cheap regardless of what OPEC charges.
