Today, on a whim, I asked google search the following question:

WHAT IS THE RATIO OF OIL PRODUCED TO OIL CONSUMED IN THE USA?

This is what I got for an answer under the "AI Overview" that pops up unwanted when you use google to search:

The U.S. ratio of oil production to consumption is close to 1:1, with production nearly matching consumption in recent years (around 13-14 million barrels/day production vs. 20 million b/d total petroleum supply/demand, including imports), making the U.S. a total petroleum net exporter, though it still imports significant crude oil and exports refined products, meaning production covers most domestic needs but isn't 100% of the specific crude oil used by refineries.

Key Figures (Approximate, based on recent EIA data):

U.S. Crude Oil Production (2024 est.): ~13.2 - 13.4 million barrels per day (b/d).
U.S. Total Petroleum Consumption (2023): ~20.25 million b/d (includes crude oil & products).

There is something here that I currently don't understand, but those numbers sure don't add up.
