I wonder if anybody has the dollar equivalent value added side, to correspond with the physical measures included here. While what we import is of value, what we send out is much more so. very interesting piece.

As I've learned from reading this site, many countries are not capable of producing large volumes of highly refined end products. Our government should be asking the question, "Are there any incentives or regulatory changes we can make that would increase our market share of refined crude exports?" Do the oil refiners ask for such changes? Or are they satisfied with their current market conditions? Not surprising at all.
