Gasoline, heating oil and petrochemicals
Gasoline is made in oil refineries.
Gasoline is obtained when it is distilled from crude oil, via oil refineries.
About 19.5 gallons of gasoline per barrel.
Gasoline is produced in oil refineries, also called petroleum refineries. Other products made there are diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas.
Gasoline is refined from oil in a matter of hours. Refineries that make oil, diesel, gasoline, naphtha and other products out of crude oil process 100,000 barrels or more of crude oil per day.
It takes about 474,512.8 barrels of oil to produce 9,253,000 gallons of gasoline.19.5 gallons of gasoline for each 42-gallon barrel of oil
The first refineries produced a way for harvesting crude oil. This occurred in 1854. The crude oil was then processed hand distilling.
Gasoline is a major component to crude oil. This component is produced in refineries through the fractional distillation by subjecting crude to heat.
They buy their fuel from U.S. refineries. They have no control over where the refineries purchase the crude oil that they ultimately sell as refined gasoline to the distributors.
Well, refineries typically get 19.6 gallons of gasoline from each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil: about 46%.
About 19.6 gallons of gasoline is produced from each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil.
