Alot of crude oil is produced in Texas Oklahoma Louisiana Pennsylvainia. It's
refinned as close tothe site of origin (no doubt) and the products are
distributed (mostly ) via pipeline, with trucks making the last few miles.

But those states do not produce all we use. And that comes from primairly the
Middle East Great Britian (I guess) and South America

whole lot more is waiting for our order.
