[quote=Finfeatherfur;217539]A BBL of cude oil is 42 USGAL. How much of that 42gals become 87 octane gasoline?
One 42gal gallon barrel of crude oil yields:
19.5 gallons of gasoline
9.2 gallons of distillate fuel oil (diesel fuel and home-heating oil)
4.1 gallons of kerosene-type jet fuel
2.3 gallons of residual fuel oil (used in industry and marine transportation and for election power generation)
1.9 gallons liquefied refinery gases
1.9 gallons still gas
1.8 gallons coke
1.3 gallons asphalt and road oil
1.2 gallons petrochemical feedstock
0.5 gallons lubricants
0.2 gallons kerosene
0.3 gallons other (don't ask me, I have no clue
)
* The total volume of products made is 2.2 gallons greater than the original 42 gallons of crude oil, representing a processing gain.
