How many litres of petrol does 1 barrel of oil make
How many gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel are made from one barrel of oil? Petroleum refineries in the United States produce about 19 to 20 gallons of motor gasoline and 11 to 12 gallons of ultra-low sulfur distillate fuel oil (most of which is sold as diesel fuel and in several states as heating oil) from one 42-gallon barrel of crude oil. A standard oil barrel holds 42 gallons or approximately 159 litres of crude oil. Using the industry standard "barrel of oil equivalent" (BOE), a barrel of crude oil is said to be equal to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas with an energy equivalent of 1,700 kilowatt hours.
