I'd go with 40 to 1. The most convenient mix I can come up with is One Cup of Oil to 2 1/2 Gallons of Gasonline.\nThat's 3.2 Oz Oil to 1 Gallon of Gasoline.  \nHope this helps.

Baby oil is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. It is a chemically inert, transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes and cyclic paraffins, related to white petrolatum.

One amount of the oil to double the amount of carrier oil or of course two parts.\nIt's to make sure the complete mixture isn't too strong

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFirst, gasoline is not a simple chemical compound like water or ethanol. It is a mixture of hundreds of different compounds. The reason for this is that gasoline is made from crude oil. Crude oil, or petroleum, is made up of thousands of different compounds, and the exact compounds present and their relative amounts differ depending on where the petroleum is produced. (For example, oil produced in West Texas differs remarkably from oil produced in the Middle East.) After the oil is produced (or taken out of the ground via oil wells), it is shipped to an oil refinery, where it is separated into different products, including gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel, among others. \n\n\nThe separation of the oil takes place in a process called distillation. (Note that there are other processes which occur in a refinery as well, but the simplification to consider just distillation is not too far off.) In distillation, the oil is heated until it starts to boil. Some of the thousands of chemical compounds that make up the oil start to boil at low temperatures, and some do not boil until the petroleum has been heated up to higher temperatures. The different products (such as gasoline) that come out of a refinery are defined by their boiling temperatures during distillation. The lightest compounds (those that boil at the lowest temperature) become aviation gasoline, the next lightest become automotive gasoline, the next lightest become lightweight solvents and so on. In order of increasing boiling point, some other categories of refinery products are jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, lubricants, greases, and asphalt. Gasoline is typically made from the fraction of the crude oil that boils at temperatures between about 50 degrees Celsius and 200 degrees Celsius. \n\n\nSo, we can't say for sure exactly what compounds are present in gasoline, but we can define gasoline to some extent. First, it is made up almost entirely of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of carbon and hydrogen. (Some of the compounds present in gasoline also contain small amounts of other elements, including sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and some trace metals.) Next, those hydrocarbons which make up most of gasoline boil at temperatures between about 50 and 200 degrees Celsius (120 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that these compounds are mostly those hydrocarbons that have between 6 and 12 carbon atoms in each molecule. A good average is probably octane, which has eight carbon atoms and 18 hydrogen atoms and is written C8H18. \n\n\nsource:http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/apr2001/987004809.Ch.r.html

Diesel is a hydrocarbon mix. It contains a wide variety of different carbon chains, usually between C9H20 and C12H26. Diesel is actually one of the 'byproducts' of refining oil into fuels - it's too heavy for Gasoline, and too light for heating oils / lubricants.

gasoline is a by-product of partial distillation of crude oil.

Question -   HOW MANY GAL.OF CRUDE OIL IN A BARREL? HOW MANY GAL OF GAS\nDOES THAT EQUAL?\n-----------------\nThere are 42 gallons / barrel of crude oil. The conversion to gasoline\ndepends upon several factors -- refining efficiency, product mix desired by\nthe refiner, quality of the crude to name a few. The following sites provide\nadditional info.\n\n http://www.petroleum.org/petrokids/petroperbbl.htm\nhttp://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen99/gen99675.htm\n\nVince Calder\n=====================================================\nA barrel contains 42 gallons.  After refining, it makes about 19.5 gallons\nof gasoline in addition to numerous other products such as heating oil..\n\nIf you can get to the web,\nhttp://www.petroleum.org/petrokids/petroperbbl.htm\nhas many interesting numbers related to your question.\n\nBest, Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University\n=====================================================\nBernie,\n\nMost of us know that the standard measure for petrol products, crude, light\nsweet etc... is the BBL (barrel).  This is exactly equal to 42 gallons.\nWhether it is milk or molten uranium or gas or crude oil...1 BBL (barrel) is\n42 gallon (US)\n\nI do not know the exact ratio of octane 87 gas to brent oil, light sweet\nblend, or crude oil.  This is because "OIL" is made up of many constituents.\nIt has many long changed hydrocarbons that determine its energy content.\nRefineries of the OPEC nations, or just in general already know this from\nyears of experience.  In order to not waste any of the crude oil, chemical\nengineers will perform hydro-cracking which will cleave the longer (CRUDEr)\noil chains into smaller more volatile compounds.  Why is this done?  This is\ndone so that while distilling the "OIL" engineers will not be able to\nseparate the oil with greater ease and efficiency.\n\nSomeone once told me that there was a rule of thumb for how many gallons of\n"gasoline" you can get from one gallon of crude.  I don't wish to repeat it\nsince I don't recall which blend it was for.  I hope that I've helped you\nsome even though I haven't fully answered your 2nd question.\n\nRegards,\nDarin\n=====================================================\nMy old CRC chemical handbook has it that a US petroleum barrel is exactly 42 gallons.\n\nCrude oil gets changed into petroleum gas, gasoline, oils, tar, and asphalt.\nThe total volume of the non-gaseous products will be not much different than the crude \nvolume.\n\nWhat percentage do they refine into gasoline? I don't know yet.\nAnything from 30-70% wouldn't surprise me.\nThey have both choices and pressures as to what product to make from crude.\n( See http://www.oiltycoon.com/htp/refining.html)\nA person at www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=33287 says it's about 2/3.\nThe other product made from the remaining 1/3 of a barrel gets sold too.\n\nSo that would be roughly 28 gallons of gasoline from each barrel of oil.

Well, a gallon of diesel is about 7 pounds at sea level.\nIf 1 gallon = 3.8 liters and a pound is 4.5 kilos, you can figure the rest, right?\n\nOoops, that was dumb. A pound is 2.2 kg. Duh. \n\nJust got to thinking about something else and had to revisit this question. Good thing others are on the ball tonight!

Petroleum fuels are made of Hydrocarbons (molecules made up out of Hydrogen and Carbon).  When you combust/burn a Hydrocarbon in excess Oxygen you produce Carbon Dioxide and Water (incomplete combustion also produces Carbon Monoxide).\n\nTake gasoline for instance, mostly Octane (C8H18), the reaction shown below is the complete cobustion reaction which occurs,\n2 C8H18 + 25 O2 --> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O\nThe fuel is chemically changed into Carbon Dioxide (which is not considered a fuel) and Water.  If we assume complete combustion, there is no fuel left over.\n\nIf you were to split up the Carbon Dioxide (or in your case CO that is produced through incomplete combustion), you will obtain elemental Carbon and Oxygen gas.  Carbon could be considered a fuel since it could then undergo further combustion with Oxygen however, it is not a Hydrocarbon fuel since it has no Hydrogen (all the Hydrogen went into water).

42 gallons in a barrel of oil, 8 pints per gallon = 336 pints.

More specifically, 1 gallon = 3.7854117 liters

For pentane which is close to gasoline it is .74 x 10^3 per degree F\n\nI can't find diesel but 35 deg API crude is .44 x 10^3\n\nBecause these are liquids, the term is cubical expansion i.e. incremental volume change for a degree rise in temperature.

heh, close.  128 oz. in 1 gallon, x 50 = 6400

According to the CIA factbook, the United States produces 7.61      million barrels per day of oil, while it consumes 20.03 million barrels per day.  According to the USGS and Department of Energy, the United States accounts for 40% of the world's oil consumption, while producing only about 10% of the world's oil.

The US exports oil, but trying to find out where that oil comes from and goes to is not as easy as I expected.\n\nThe CIA factbook: Oil - exports:\n1.048 million bbl/day (2004)
