U.S. energy production in 2019 was higher than U.S. energy consumption for the first time in 62 years. Thus, the U.S. attained the long-held goal of “energy independence”—which is not to say that we did not import or export energy, but that we produced more energy than we used. One can thank the oil and gas industry and its use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling for that milestone as production in those industries increased a combined 11 percent in 2019.

We are "energy independent" or a net exporter of energy today. ( Forbes, and EIA)
I'm still looking for a link that clearly explains we are not, and never have been, self sufficient for gasoline.
