**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.”

Other information about crude oil :
1 US gallon = 3.785 liters
1 barrel = 42 gallons = 158.9873 liters = 5.6146 cu ft = 0.159 cu meters
= 0.136 metric ton
1 metric ton of crude = 7.35 barrels of crude
{ 1 metric ton = 1000 kg = 2205 lb [1 long ton = 2240 lb ; 1 short ton = 2000 lb] }
