The difference between barrel and gallen is that a barrel can load 220 litre oil and a gallon can load millions of oil.
Oil, Coal, and Petroleum
Fuel oil (diesel, home heating oil) has a specific gravity of about 0.8. Heavy bunker fuels can be closer to 1.0. The weight of a US gallon of oil can then range between 6.4 lb and 8 lb.
Are you using wood, coal, oil, electricity , propane, natural gas WHAT is the BTU of the natural gas ( Varies from 900 -1,200 BTU per CU FT) and oil #2 can vary from 138,000 - 140,00 BTU per gallon) and how much are you paying per THERM=Also various countries and cities have different charges for fuel=
Oila nd coal are very expensive. They cost very large.
it costs 2.00
.32 per gallon
You can get sunflower oil from WalMart for less than $12 for a gallon.
.5 cents. which means 5 cents a gallon
$0.90 cents per gallon
When I was a teenager in the mid 50's I remember gasoline was .25 - 30 cents a gallon so probably a barrel of oil was in the $10 range.
In a simple illustration, let's assume an oil company is paying $100 for a barrel (42 gallons) of basic crude oil. Their cost for a gallon will be about $2.38. At a gasoline-pump price of $4.00 per gallon. so, result comes as cost of converting one gallon crude oil is $1.62 (4.00-2.38=1.62).
Coal is the most expensive if you take into account the high cost of the damage to our environment. if you ignore the cost of carbon there is not much difference in the market price of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Coal does not get refined. Oil gets refined, but coal gets used as it is when it comes out of the coal mine. There is a process called coal gassification by which natural gas can be made from coal, but that is not really a form of refining, and in any event, most coal is simply burned, it is not gassified.
I don't remember, but, I know for a 10 gallon imperial tank of gas, it cost me $ 4.50 cdn. Now, those were the days.
$2.03 a gallon in June 2004 The price of Crude oil hovered between $58 - $68 dollar's per barrel
