Yes, indeed, thanks to Jimmy Carter's obscene energy policies, or lack thereof! It took Reagan nearly his entire first term to recover our country from the great damage ol' Jimmuh inflicted on our nation!
To add to the above post of mine, see what a little Ask or Google search will net you...knowledge, it's a wonderful thing!
The 42-gallon barrel of crude oil makes about 19½ 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. That adds up to more than 42 gallons because of something called "refinery gain" - the processing and chemical changes decrease the density and hence increase the volume of the refined components. So, crudely (pun intended), a $100 barrel of crude represents about $2.30 cents a gallon to start with. That $2.30 represents the cost of production plus producer profit. |
