Why is heavy crude oil cheaper then light crude oil?
Heavy crude is less in demand than light crude, because it needs more expensive refining to make it usable. Since it is less in demand, it is cheaper to buy.

What is a crude oil?
Crude oil is oil as it comes out of the ground. it generally contains many different weights of oil compounds, sulphur, water and sediment.

Who has the best quality crude oil in the world?
Crude oil is a very complex mixture of hydrocarbon compounds with some inorganic compounds. Simple quality terms (light/ heavy and sour/ sweet) are defined for convenience and are inadequate terms to fully characterize the crude. However, as discussed in the links, a crude that has less than 0.5% sulfur content is sweet crude. Oil that is between 37 to 42 degrees API in density is light oil. Other definitions exist (see link), however this appears the range used for US produced crude. Light sweet crude will sell for higher prices than other grades, (Heavy sour, heavy sweet, light sour). Many countries produce light sweet crude including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Brazil, Angola, Nigeria, and the US. Please see related links.

How much does a drum of motor oil weigh?
A barrel of oil contains 42 gallons. A gallon of light crude oil weighs approximately 7.27 pounds. Heavy crude oil weighs 7.61 pounds per gallon. Therefore a barrel of light crude oil weighs 305.34 pounds + the weight of the barrel. Heavy crude would weigh 319.62 pounds + the weight of the barrel.
