I really don't see ANY significant reserves of ANY fuel type remaining by 2000.
Chances are if the military didn't requisition it, then civilians would have.
And as for sending fuel back to the US from the middle east, I can't see that happening either, not with supplies as short as they are for CENTCOM. Where's the logic in it? What would Milgov send back given that the forces there are in an unholy alliance with Civgov and just about everyone else? How would they get anything there, let alone scrounge it up in the US to begin with.
And don't think it's going to be a one way trade either. The owners of the oil aren't going to just let the US steal it, they'll want to get paid and paid WELL.
