"We", as in North Americans, don't get much of our oil from the middle east. We get the majority of our oil from Canada, Mexico, and various South American countries.

However, we pay world price because the oil that we get from those sources can be sent elsewhere. If the middle east shut down, the Euros would buy from "our" suppliers.
