Alaska remains a leading U.S. supply source of crude oil, ranking 3rd in both crude oil reserves and in crude oil production (including Federal Offshore). The Alyeska Pipeline connects the North Slope oil fields with the Port at Valdez. From Valdez, crude oil is shipped primarily to California. Small quantities of crude oil are exported to Asia from fields under State waters of Alaska's Cook Inlet. Alaska, which uses conventional gasoline, ranks second to last in gasoline consumption with the lowest state gasoline tax rate in the nation at 8 cents per gallon. Alaska has 6 refineries with a combined crude distillation capacity of about 374 thousand barrels per day. However, most of these refineries are "topping" plants, facilities that top off the lighter products from the crude stream that are used for internal refinery fuel use. Natural gas and fuel oil dominate the home heating market with respective shares of 46 percent and 36 percent.
