Crude Oil

[CrazyFoo]

How many gallons of retail gasoline (87 octane) comes from 1 barrol of crude oil after it’s been refined and whatever else they do to it.

I’ve always been curious about this and been afraid to ask.

Thanks

What Does One Barrel Of Crude Oil Make?

Products Gallons per barrel
gasoline 19.5
distillate fuel oil
(Includes both home heating oil and diesel fuel) 9.2
kerosene-type jet fuel 4.1
residual fuel oil
(Heavy oils used as fuels in industry, marine transportation and for electric power generation) 2.3
liquefied refinery gasses 1.9
still gas 1.9
coke 1.8
asphalt and road oil 1.3
petrochemical feedstock’s 1.2
lubricants 0.5
kerosene 0.2
other 0.3

Figures are based on 1995 average yields for U.S. refineries. One barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil. The total volume of products made is 2.2 gallons greater than the original 42 gallons of crude oil. This represents “processing gain.”
