L, no petro scientist here, but when I was posting to the "stop the
carbon/CO2 myth" thread, I found this from a cursory peruse of the
net:

"I see from noodling around several sites that a basic BBL of oil usually yields ~7 gallons of diesel;
whereas, they often yield 20+ gallons of gasoline...that may have something to do with the usually
higher price per gallon for diesel vs. gasoline..."

No idea if that ~7 gal of diesel yield "costs" more or less than the "cost"
of gas, derived vis a vis the cracking/refining process.

I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable can add to it.

Your truck biz O/Ops must be up against the wall with this diesel pricing...

I think diesel is less than gasoline in many Euro countries as they have a slightly
diff blend, by regs, and the usual exorbitant fuel taxes are reduced/tilted by the
gov'ts for diesel there.
My 25Cents if up...
