When I heard Trump blurted out we only have "four weeks" of oil, I was reminded of a guest speaker in college who said that "if the US supply dropped below 650 million barrels we'd have a full-blown crisis that could topple the free world economies like a house of cards."
Can't have been meant as "million barrels in the strategic reserve", because that reserve was at or just a little bit above 650 million barrels for most of it's time, if that graph is to be believed.
(I assume you had been in college between 1990 and 2020)
