James said "Not true. Or at best half true, 'cause it'd be just as accurate to say that gasoline is the dregs of producing diesel fuel."

I've always wondered if a certain percent of crude must be used for diesel and a certain percent for gas, or can they refine whatever (ratio) they want. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I read it takes more crude to make diesel (hence the higher energy density of diesel).
