[TheForge] OT: several questions and thoughts

[JOHN CHOBRDA]

I think you're a little off, I just looked up the results of distillation of
a barrel of crude and the approximate numbers were
48% gasoline
32% diesel, heating, jet fuel, kerosene
12% other
 8% asphalt

These figures change depending where the crude came from

Why is it that every time "oil" is discussed everyone thinks gas and diesel.
Gas is the waste byproduct of the oil industry. It takes more crude oil to
make the plastic container than it does to make the quart of oil that goes
in it.
If you suddenly came up with something that would run our cars and trucks
that didn't come from the oil industry and only cost ten cents a gallon it
would hardly make a dent in our need for oil.
What is really needed is a new source for chemicals and plastics.
