You obviously don't understand how oil works. There are different kinds of oil, one of which has the formal name "Sweet Crude." The US doesn't have much of it, and the Arabian peninsula has quite a lot. Different kinds of oil are refined to make different things, and "Sweet Crude" is used to make gasoline. So while we may produce more barrels of oil than we use, not all barrels of oil are equal. An interesting side-note is that when different types of oil are transferred through pipelines, they are separated by devices called "squealers" because of the sound they make as they travel down the pipeline.
