Question
While discussing alternative fuels in a lecture this morning I was assigned to research how much oil one gallon of gasoline contains. Would you be able to help me and if so I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Answer
Hello Lyle

Thats a little turned around. Should be, "How many gallons of gasoline in a gallon of crude oil"

Sorry, I don't do leases, property claims, legal issues, or royalty questions. Just those issues listed below. Regarding: Heavy Duty Lubricants(HDMO), Passenger Car Lubricants(PCMO), Hydraulics, Greases, Gear OIls. Applications, Substitution, Constituants, and general knowldge of the aforementioned products. Not well versed in the actual manufacture of petrochemical products, but can answer general questions. I have a vast network of information sources within the Petrochemical Industry (Not too much on fuels). If I don`t know the answer, I can usually find one rather quickly. Except Royalty, mineral rights, etc. Questions, Sorry.
