THE BASICS ON GAS AND PRODUCTION The single biggest factor in the price Petroleum products made from of gasoline is the cost of crude oil. 1 barrel of crude oil Distribution and Marketing - 6% Diesel - 10.04 gal Taxes - 12% Other Distillates - 1.24 gal Crude oil prices are There are about Jet Fuel - 3.91 gal determined by 162,000 gas stations Refining - 6% Other Products - 6.8 gal worldwide supply across the U.S. Crude Oil - 76% Heavy Oil - 1.68 gal and demand. Liquefied Petroleum Gases - 1.72 gal Gasoline - 19.36 gal 46% of each barrel of oil is allocated to make consumer gasoline SOURCE: EIA THE PRICE OF OIL IS SET ON THE WORLD MARKET ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND “Eight years ago, when America last Growing global demand and instability cause high gas prices produced this same amount of oil, the average cost of gasoline was $1.56. So the amount of oil we drill at home doesn’t set GLOBAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS SOARING CHINA TRIPLED ITS NUMBER OF CARS—AND ITS GAS the price of gas on its own. That’s because Cumulative growth in total oil consumption NEEDS—IN JUST 4 YEARS oil is bought and sold in a world market. And just like last year, one thing that’s China India U.S. causing the price of oil to rise right now is 120% instability in the Middle East – this time in Iran.
