I was ask this question by my son and I had no idea maybe someone knows. I never really thought about it, I only pay for it.
O How many gallons make up a barrel of crude oil?
O How many gallons of gas can a barrel of crude oil make?
Thanks to anyone that can help me.

I personally don't know

But here is what I found on the web

A barrel contains 42 gallons. After refining, it makes about 19.5 gallons
Of gasoline in addition to numerous other products such as heating oil..

If you can get to the web,
Petroleum.org
Has many interesting numbers related to your question.
