I did some looking around but didn"t find anything to answer your question. But thought this was interesting. In breaking down the cast of gasoline and diesel it is something like this. About 50% of the cost is crude. Refinery cost 11-15%. Distribution and marketing account for about 13-15% of cost. While takes are about 21-23%. When I was hauling out of a Conoco terminal about ten months ago they had posted on the bulletin board in the drivers room a break down of the products that came from a barrell of crude. I do not remember the breakdown but found it interesting that they get more gallons of product from a barrel than is actually in a barrel to begin with. One of the guys that was righ when I aked if it wasn"t a missprint.
