Only about 56 import supply days in the Strategic reserve. It would have no real effect long term. Other challenges, it is also a military reserve for defense, etc. It is designed to be a last resort, not a market adjustment tool. It is unrefined and doesn't address those effects on price. If released, law requires it to be replaced. Counterproductive because US govt would then be competing again for oil. Catch 22 for market purposes.
