17 The Congressional Budget Office predicts the price of diesel could rise by up to 51 cents per gallon and gasoline by up to 26 cents per gallon by 2017.

18 Why export crude oil? Crude oil exports yield economic benefit across all 50 states Save consumers up to $5.8 billion a year in lower fuel costs Add 300,000 jobs to U.S. economy in 2020 Reduce America s trade deficit by $22 billion in 2020 Source: ICF International and EnSys Energy,
