Crude Oil Yeilds Simplified

[Wingnut]

Appoximate Yeild of Production From 100 Gallons of Crude Oil

Gasoline ...........................................44 gallons

Fuel Oils (diesel on heating oil)..............36 gallons

Misc (Wax, Coke, Asphalts)....................8 gallons

Kerosine.......................................... ...6 gallons

Lubricates........................................ ..3 gallons

Loss.............................................. ....3 gallons

Hydrocarbon gases a produced in the refinery process that produce paint, varnishes, alcohols, solvents, synthetic rubbers, plastics, and explosives. Hydrocarbon gases are added to gasoline to make High Octane Gasoline.

That does simplify it! Its amazing what they can do with chemistry, by modifyung the hydrocarbon chains, they can vary those results too....such as more diesel than gasoline etc. Thanks for the chart
