Yeah, you're right...the sweet crude is the easiest to refine. My understanding is that the sulfur is a byproduct of the refining process. As far as the me mentioning the Soviets, well...let's just say that some are not as familiar with Geography 101 like me & you , so I thought that I would just help them a little bit.

You know, I forgot about the Canadians. How much of our total oil imports come from Canada?
