Which makes our percent irrelevant to the question as long as anyone is importing Russian oil. For instance eastern Europe.

If we import 3.3%, and we cut 10% of our total use.. not only do we stop importing that 3.3%.. we have the remaining 6.7% to export to help another market not have to send money to Russia.

Wasting gas is literally handing cash to Putin and the Russian army. Make your choices accordingly.
