Gas prices going up across the country shows that all of the US is reliant on foreign oil, even if none of it ever touches the state.

The idea of counting "reliance" based on the exact shipping route that serves you today is nonsense.

All oil is global commodity and the US refineries can’t take the oil that the US produces. So they mix it with heavy sours from Canada so the refineries can handle them. So a lot of the oil in the US is dependent on foreign oil as you said.
