Diesel Prices (again?)

[Tom]

I don't mean to be a crybaby, but...
What the heck is going on?
the pice of cude jumps a few cents and the price at the pump follows suit by about the same.

How many gallons of diesel can be made from one "barrel" of light crude oil???

Curious minds want to know.

The cost of the raw materials should raise the price of fuel only by that amount.

e.g. if you can make 100 gallons of diesel from 1 barrel of crude, the price would rise by APPROXimately 1/100th of the price of the barrel.

Anyone really know?

It depends on how somebody wants their pockets lined.

So, how many gallons of #2 are produced from each "barrel" of light crude? (I think that's the stuff)
