"One barrel of crude oil makes about 19� gallons of gasoline, 9 gallons of fuel oil, 4 gallons of jet fuel, and 11 gallons of other products, including lubricants, kerosene, asphalt, and petrochemical feedstocks to make plastics."
Lots of interesting information on this website....

A barrel of oil is 42 gallons.
Percentages of products are below.... if you multiply the 42 gallons by the percentage, you'll get your data. ENJOY!!!
From the website:
The most common products from petroleum are energy products: gasoline, heating oil, and diesel fuel. Other petroleum products are: ink, crayons, bubble gum, dishwashing liquids, deodorant, eyeglasses, records, tires, ammonia, and heart valves.
A barrel of oil yields these refined products (percent of barrel):
47% gasoline for use in automobiles
23% heating oil and diesel fuel
18% other products, which includes petrochemical feedstock—products derived from petroleum principally for the manufacturing of chemicals, synthetic rubber and plastics
10% jet fuel
4% propane
3% asphalt
(Percentages equal more than 100 because of an approximately 5% processing gain from refining.)

It relies upon on the barrel of oil. each and each oil field produces distinctive weights and compositions of oil. West Texas intermediate is one such classification. candy easy crude generally produces an greater % of gas according to a barrel and is the favored benchmark for oil fees and is the single quoted on the information. approximately 70 % of candy easy crude is the two gas or diesel

Actually one 55 gallon drum cannot make more than 55 gallons of diesel or gasoline probably much less . However the refinery is a magical place where they put in other additives and re crack the remaining sludge until they get every last usable burnable out and leave only asphalt and gravel.
