Approximately 33% of our oil is produced domestically. I used the most current data from the US Department of Energy, Energy Information Agency, which is an excellent site for information. There has been a long term declining trend to our domestic oil supply. For the first 8 months in 2008, US oil production has been about 5.1 million barrels per day, while imports have about 10 million barrels per day. I ignored Sept 2008 data as hurricane activity made the data anomalous. See: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_sum_crdsnd_adc_mbbl_m.htm

A tariff impose on oil might decreases the demand for oil but this decrease will be very small, as oil is a necessity in a human daily life. There are alternative sources to oil which might be used more but as OIL is bought in rest of the world in US dollars an increase in oil prices domestically will not affect the Value and demand of dollar in global market but It will lead to an Increase in demand for money in local market which might lead to a higher inflation rate which the central bank might control by printing more money thus it will make US product more expensive in the global market and it might increase profits for certain industries in US. This might also lead to a higher structural unemployment in US.
