That's a great site!
So 42 gallons of crude oil produce 19 gallons of gasoline plus 10 gallons of diesel. And since they are different fractions, then the amount of one can't be reduced in order to produce more of the other? Am I right?
So why is diesel cheaper than gasoline in most parts of the world? Since there is almost twice as much gasoline "in" a barrel of crude than diesel, plus diesel is used in trucks, ships, etc., in much greater amounts than gasoline is used by cars, so there should be less diesel available than gas so it should cost more (by at least a factor of 2 or 3). Or maybe diesel is so much easier to produce, while gasoline is needed for other things?
