And you don't get 1 gallon of gasoline for each gallon of crude.

You're right...Out of a barrel you also get jet fuel as well as the oils that don't require nearly as much of the refining process such as paint thinners, diesel fuels, motor oils and the least refined go into things like plastics...

I forget the percentages of how much of a barrel of crude goes where...

But at 10-12 bucks a gallon for laquer thinner, it's easy to see why they are making astronomical profits...

Smooooooooth timing...not.
