How many gallons of gas are in one barrell of gas?

Answer 1

About 19.6 gallons of gasoline from each barrel of crude oil.

According to API:

'Better refining technologies have made it possible to produce over 21 gallons of gasoline from a 42-gallon barrel of crude oil '

also look at the National Petroleum Refiners Association

I wish i had my old thinkpad up and running, i know I have a really good graph of all the products that are taken from a '55' gal barrel of oil.. with additaves, it adds up to quite a bit more than the 'barrel' itself..

Answer 2

"Barrel" is not a well defined unit. The standard "oil barrel" used in the US and Canada is defined as 42 US gallons. However, this really refers specifically to crude oil. Other definitions of "barrel" range from around 26 US gallons up to 55 US gallons.

Answer 3

1 barrell of crude oil is 42 gallons, and it will give about 20 gallons of gasoline, but it varies with the crude quality

Answer 4

There are 42 gallons of gas in one barrel.
