this would be a tech question, kind of. does anyone know how many gallons of gas can be produced from a barrel of oil ? and also is a barrel of oil being considered 55 gallons or something different ? ,
ok i found this, http://www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/wh...arrel_oil.html
if i am reading it right 51.4 % fuel means around 21 gallons of gas.
I don't know the answer, but they don't only get gas from that barrel of oil.

A barrel of crude is 42 gallons.Quote:

Must be damn small monkeys or an overly large barrel.:eek: :LOL: :LOL:
Shredded, fileted, crushed or deboned - and voila' - more monkeys will fit no matter what sized barrel. Yeah, I know, sick:whacked: :D
42 gallons is correct
By the looks of Denny's pic, I'd say you could fit more into the barrel if you wipe those silly grins off of their faces...:LOL::LOL::LOL:
You will never see two articles match regarding the amount of gasoline produced from a barrel of oil.... the yield is dependent upon too many variables including where the oil came from, the process (they can change the process to yield more of a particular product), etc. Plus, each refinery runs a different yield. According to some friends who work at refineries, some of the info is not made public; only generalizations are given.
