about 20 gallons of gas from a barrel of crude. a barrel of crude is 42 gallons, not 55 according to petroleum.org.
Learn something new everyday. Alway thought it was 55 gallons.
Yeah, but how much motor oil is refined from a barrel?

Dan,
It depends on the refinery and how the refinery fractions their product streams.
The refinery near our house refines for fuel products only, so their yield is 90% of fuel, and the rest is processing residues.

Looking for just a general number. Was hoping someone was an exemployee of Company A or B or whatever and could say "about" this much motor oil.
