Well, honey, they leave some room in that drum so the oil doesn't spill out when it's being transported or stored. It's like when you pack your suitcase and don't stuff it to the brim - gotta leave some space for movement, ya know? Plus, it gives those oil workers a chance to show off their muscles by lifting those heavy drums without making a mess everywhere.
