On average, U.S. petroleum refineries produce about 19 to 20 gallons of gasoline, 11 to 13 gallons of distillate fuel diesel fuel and 3 to 4 gallons of jet fuel from each 42 gallon (152 liters) barrel of crude oil. The product ratio depends upon the processing in an oil refinery and the crude oil assay. [13]
Add to this about 2.01 billion barrels (320,000,000 m 3) produced in the United States, and the total consumption in the United States is 6.3 billion barrels (1.00 × 10 9 m 3) of crude for 2010.

It uses cobalt catalysts at 230 °C, converting natural gas to petroleum liquids at a rate of 140,000 barrels per day (22,000 m 3 /d), with additional production of 120,000 barrels (19,000 m 3) of oil equivalent in natural gas liquids and ethane.
The California Department of Water Resources and the California State Water Resources Control Board submitted a report to the state legislature recommending that urban water suppliers achieve an indoor water use efficiency standard of 55 US gallons (210 litres) per capita per day by 2023, declining to 47 US gallons (180 litres) per day by 2025 ...
The original agreement was to immediately increase the price of a barrel (42 U.S. gallons) of crude oil by 35 cents (from a then-average price of $1.79 a barrel), followed by 5 cent increases annually, and had been negotiated by teams headed by Iranian Finance Minister Jamshid Amouzegar for the OPEC nations and by British Petroleum Chairman ...
While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...
Limited production runs of Glock 19 and Glock 17 conversion barrel kits allowed these pistols to be converted to fire .22 TCM by replacing the barrel and recoil spring (rated at 11 lbs). This led to the development of the .22 TCM-9R variant, which uses a shorter bullet and overall cartridge length compatible with Glock and other magazines ...
