Not really because to make gasoline, both sorts are necessary. When anyone in the world makes gasoline they need oil they import from the US and they don't need/can't substitute it with the kinds of oil US imports. So there cannot be a shortage. In addition, it is the US oil (lighter sorts) that are in more shortage worldwide because Gulf states produce similar ones and supply from there is choked. US imports heavy oil and it is abundant and will be even more abundant now when Venezuela's supplies will be returning online. It gives US a bigger advantage than it sounds.
