In 2024, the United States imported approximately 0.5 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil and condensate from Persian Gulf countries through the Strait of Hormuz, accounting for about 7% of total U.S. crude oil and condensate imports and 2% of U.S. petroleum liquids consumption. This figure reflects the importance of the Strait as a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies, with oil flow averaging 20 million barrels per day (b/d), which is about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption.
The above is the results I got from a Google search on how much oil America imports through the Strait of Hormuz. 7% speaks pretty loudly. To me, that points toward gas rationing within a month - perhaps a 10 gallon limit.
