Oil/Gas Question

[Drop Tine]

I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people on this site that work in the oil and gas industry. I have a question for you. Is it true that Valero only uses US produced crude? I always try to get my fuel from Valero since hearing this, but I would like to know if it's actually true. I know Shell, Exxon, BP, and others provide thousands of good paying jobs so they are all important. I just thought it was really cool that Valero only used US crude (if that's true).

Isn't Valero owned by Venezuela?

Nope. Valero still imports some.
