“produced between 300 and 500 barrels of petroleum a day, which ISIS used to power its own vehicles and to sell on the black market, bringing in up to $2 million every day in revenue.””

The math doesn’t work.

Precisely what I was thinking.
Each barrel contains about 55 gallons.
500 x 55 = 27,500 gallons produced daily.
$2,000,000 / 27,500 gallons = $72.72 per gallon.
