This is the hardest answer I have yet to find.
First, because oil tankers are usually too large to transit through the Suez Canal, they go around the southern tip of Africa. So, from Saudi Arabia to the Cape of Good Hope is 5078 nautical miles. From there to, say, Norfolk, Virginia is 6802 nautical miles. That is a total of 11880 nautical miles. In reality, it would be further, for most oil is imported to the Gufl Coast (like New Orleans), which is further.
