There are 42 gallons of oil in a "Barrel of oil" .





Crude oil barrels are different from the 55 gallon drums that we see commonly.


One barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, when refined, yields approximately 19.6 gallons of finished motor gasoline. The remainder of the barrel yields distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, and other products.

Of that, they get about 50% gasoline out of that. With the gasoline being so profitable the oil companies are trying to make more gasoline out of 1 barrel.








Good Luck...
