How much (in $) refined product do we then export? Crude is not gasoline or plastic.

Some misc data on that:
"America is still the world's largest importer of crude oil. From January to October, the country imported 2.7 billion barrels of oil worth roughly $280 billion."
"Fuel exports, worth an estimated $88 billion in 2011 ..."

From what I could find, we export around $30x billion worth of plastic per year, and import around $12 to $15 billion worth of plastics.
