Thanks for posting an easy to understand breakdown! :hat Always have been confused about how much gas can come from a barrel of crude oil.:scratch

Thanks for posting that link. It was interesting to see the break-down of what comes out of a barrel of oil.

What amazes me the most is that the government wants to increase taxes on the oil companies (who makes less than the government).

what amazes me is the fact that there's not a good explanation to why it's rising so quickly.
