At the end of 2008, the US had about 714,000,000 barrelsof crude oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
The simple answer is that if refineries shut down the strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) would not help. The SPR consists of crude oil - unrefined products. While the US consumes about 21.4 million barrels per day of petroleum products, those barrels are refined products: gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, etc.
The US consumed 7,136,255 barrels of total crude oil and petroleum products in 2008.
The standard size of the Petroleum Refinery is in the multiples of 3Million tonnes per annum or lakh barrels of crude.
4.92 billion barrels (207 billion gallons) of petroleum products, including 3.65 billion barrels (153 billion gallons) of crude oil, were imported to the US in 2007. According to the Energy Information Administration, the US imported 10.0 million barrels per day of crude oil in 2007. This represents 66% of the 15.2 million bpd of crude oil processed in the US. The US consumed a total of 7.55 billion barrels of petroleum (including crude oil and various petroleum products) in 2007, of which 58% was imported. 7,550,000,000 barrels equals 317,000,000,000 gallons of petroleum. http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/ask/crudeoil_faqs.asp http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twiparch/081029/twipprint.html http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_impcus_a2_nus_ep00_im0_mbbl_a.htm
About 19.6 gallons of gasoline are refined from each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil. Therefore, 400 million gallons of gasoline is the result of refining about 20,408,163.3 barrels of crude oil.
Assuming 1 metric ton of crude oil ~ 7.33 barrels them 20 metric tons of crude oil ~ 20 x 7.33 barrels =146.60 barrels of crude oil
Mexico would qualify as the 12th largest exporter of crude petroleum in the world, with an average of 1.46 million oil barrels per day.
In 2001 the United States imported 55 percent of petroleum consumed domestically. In 2000 domestic crude petroleum production totaled 2.1 trillion barrels, with a value of $56.9 billion.
