US Oil Production Needed


The US needs to increase oil production back to 13 million barrels per day to begin reducing gasoline prices. 

US Oil & N Gas Production by Month on 2020 and 2021 shows how the reduction in US oil production is driving higher gasoline prices that track the average price of oil.  This is pure supply and demand.
