How many gallons of gasoline can be made from 1 barrel of crude oil?
There are 42 gallons of crude oil in a barrel, but a barrel will yield only 17 to 22 gallons of gasoline. There is a limit on how much gas you can take from a barrel of crude, and that varies with the type of crude and the type of refining process. The remainder of crude is refined for use as heating oil, kerosene, and other petroleum products. Also, in the heating, more heating oil is made.
