One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to make thousands of other products. Although the major use of petroleum is as a fuel, (gasoline, jet fuel, heating oil), and petroleum and natural gas are often used to generate electricity, there are many other uses. Example…. All plastic is made from petroleum and plastic is used almost everywhere.

Asphalt used in road construction is a petroleum product as is the synthetic rubber in the tires. Paraffin wax comes from petroleum, as do fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, phonograph records, photographic film, furniture, packaging materials, surfboards, paints, and artificial fibers used in clothing, upholstery, and carpet backing. Individual Americans, on average, consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than 250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each!

Just that post PROVES that the sky is falling global catastrophe screamers should, to a rational person prove cutting it off like Biden has done brings a world of hurt to every American. But their asses will go without NOTHING as the rest of the 98% of Americans will suffer untold calamities. You voted this shit in and will suffer with the rest of us.

there in lies the problem. The useful idiots on the left have no idea that their policies will not only harm the average person, the policies won’t change the climate one iota.

Not when the largest polluters are free to burn on without any regulations to help. What we do in our country doesn't mean crap while they do what they want and get their elete people filthy rich.

So almost half gets burned.

Should we be saving oil for all those other products which can be recycled.

Oil will run out.

elledee

Yes oil will run out....... in about five hundred years!!

Wonttakeitanymore

That’s what they want! The rich and the deprived! We all need to work in factories and take public transportation! In cally stupid is offering free buss for all kids! We are being made to be obedient , starting with the children! Wear those masks and ride those buses! Gates wants us to only eat fake meat! Next Soylent green! Oregon already using dead people juice to fertilize plants!!! God is in control! Those who believe will be taken! Hope all is well with you sky!!

This post makes a great argument for finding alternative energy sources. Petroleum, once burned for fuel, cannot be used for those petrochemical purposes.

If stopped burning half of it oil will last a lot longer

It doesn’t work that way pappy. The part used for fuel is primary and the rest are byproducts. Some of them you can’t make if you don’t first pull out the gas. Natural gas is actually that! Natural gas in the ground. You can heat what you want to and make fertilizer and pantyhose.

Milosia2 Loc: Cleveland Ohio

The left sees a planet of dead people rotting in the sun with full tanks of gas.

If they're all liberals, so much the better.

Thank you.

Big dog

Sounds like gasoline is just a bi-product of making all those other products.

There's idiots on the right that haven't any idea. Some still believe Trump won and is president. How idiotic is that?
