As full-fledged tinfoil hate member of the peak oil society, I don't think drilling here or there or anywhere is going to make the earth give us more oil. Then again that has nothing to do with high gas prices, does it?

That was pretty sweet! I like what the german guy was saying about push/pull forces on the rotating assembly, makes so much more sense when you think about it.
I don't know how long, but I think the ratio is like 1 50gal barrel oil gets you 6 gallons of gas or something close to that.
So what do they make out of the other 44 gallons. I know that all 50 gallons don't go to making gas but I thought the ratio would be higher than that.
I actually think its closer to 15-20 gallons after all is said and done. The other 20ish gallons go to making jet fuel, diesel, lubricants, plastic, asphalt, tires, fertilizer, soap, synthetic fibers, cosmetics, sandals, etc etc etc
good stuff, I hope I have enough money to plant my garden and food plots for the diesel fuel for my JD 950.
Yep yep. People don't realize that petro is used for EVERYTHING not just gasoline. Even pharmacuticals (can't spell)
A barrel of crude oil is 42 gallons of which 19.74 gallons is refined into gasoline.
The amount of gasoline derived from a barrel of crude oil depends on the type of oil and how much of the less-desirable oil can be converted into gasoline through cracking of the longer hydrocarbon chains. So, any set figure is questionable. Thanks, wikipedia.
I was gonna say there is no way you knew that lol
