What a barrel of crude oil makes
* PMS - Premium Motor Spirit; AGO - Automotive Gas Oil; DPK - Dual Purpose Kerosene
**Figures are based on average yields for U.S. refineries in 2000. One barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil. The total volume of products made is 2.6 gallons greater than the original 42 gallons of crude oil. This represents “processing gain.”
