Isn't it just slightly over half the amount of crude??
well it depends on the type of oil but the average is about 10% of the distilled product is gasoline so each barrel of oil will make about 4.2 gallons of gas

venezuelan crude will only yield about half that 5% of distilled product whereas texas oil is about 30% so texas oil you will get about 12.8 gallons

with all the types averages its about 19 gallons of gas per barrel that would be for gas domestically and foreginly produced and refined

so texas and arabian crude are the best oils to use bc you will get about 12.8 gallons of gas per barrel

Hello people

Buying time for me in the 1.3450-1.3470, zone will post a chart later.
Stops on a tight 25-30 pips leach, new low would invalidate the buying opportunity.
Time to tighten the leach...
Moving stops at B/E on the swing trade @1.3459, and establishing targets.
PA looks to validate the potential for this long trade.

Swing trade (2-5 days expected)

Entry: 1.3459
Stop : 1.3459

Target1: 1.3686

Target2: 1.3836 (optional or with re-entry long trades)
Target3: 1.4040 (optional or with re-entry long trades)
Getting it right is NOT as important as not getting it wrong.

Nice info... interesting indeed. Extremely inefficient as well. Even in it's gas form when used in vehicles, it has an terribly low efficiency rating. Oil is crap.

Ooops made a typo on the swing trade parameters.

Target1 should be read 1.3686 and NOT 1.3886

Thought you were being a little zealous there, as it was originally implying at least an attempted reversal on the daily

Good number you have there though.

3519 would be a b/o formation to the N to 3576,, resistance 66/72 51/53

if 3519 is not touched then 3460 is a target. b/o below 3459 targets 3402.
there should be support in the 3424 area.
back to 3518 before up indicated? atm at 3536

3518 is #1

3454 is #3

#1 has a high % of completion. great on longer term charts.
3551 will void this.
