Does the us have a surplus of crude oil?

No. We are an importer of oil.

A wrong answer indeed. We actually have quite a large amount stored up. The problem is that it is only for the military. If the world runs out of oil, the military still has to protect us. In a state of emergency, the US government might supplement the oil production with some of this oil, but highly unlikely due to the burden it could potentially put on the military's ability to continue to kick ass.
