A barrel of crude oil is 42 gallons. You've got heavy crude, lots of wax.  You've
got sweet crude, less sulfur. It all boils down to about 20 gallons of
gasoline/barrel, 7 gallons of diesel/barrel, 5.5 gallons of jet fuel/barrel, the rest is lube oil, asphalt, fuel oil, coke, etc. And it's all going to the highest bidder.

Interesting numbers. Does this mean you get either 20 gals of gas,7 gals diesel, and 5.5 jet fuel /barrel or all of these quantities out of the 42
gallons (using 32.5 gallons of the 42)with the rest going to asphalt etc? If only one of the three choices can be had out of a barrel it is amazing
diesel and jet fuel aren't much more expensive than gasoline since the yield is so much lower than gasoline.

LancairDriver, A 42 gallon barrel of oil will yeild, on the average, a combination of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other "by products". The barrel of oil is as fully utilized as possible in the refinement process.
