10. Imports of crude oil to the U.S. were on an upward trend for about 20 years. Since 2006, this trend has reversed,
with imports of crude oil declining to 7.7 million barrels per day by 2013. In 2009 lower demand and a collapse in
oil prices caused the expenditures to fall to about $750 million per day. Since that time the spending has been
closer to $1,000 million per day or more.
