Now thats a good topic. Would help us forget about gas prices We should get adjoining sites and set up the keg in between. The problem is we will need a designated counter as I will lose count after the 12th beer
Don't like the view?? Then change it and Go Camping
Based on extensive research, I can say that the average keg has no cans in it. Now for pouring, are we talking glasses, half pints, pints or imperials?
Quote: However there is a total of 45 to 49 gallons of refinery products that come out of a 42 gallon barrel of crude, including jet fuel and diesel.
I've just got to beg for a short explanation of this. It sounds too much like plugging the charger into the inverter output to create free energy.
Dividing $120 by 42 gives $2.86 for a gallon of crude. Subtracting 43 cents per gallon to account for taxes in Oregon from the current price of regular (about $3.70) yields a price of $3.27 per gallon, or 41 cents per gallon over the price of crude. I'm honestly surprised that it can be pumped from the ground, refined, shipped, and sold with that small of a margin.
You're close. A beer barrel is 31 gallons, or 3,968 ounces. The large keg sold for parties is a half-barrel, or 1984 ounces, including any lost foam. That's about 165 12 ounce glasses / cans.
Sam is right on. Actually the refineries I have worked in could vary the amount of each of those three products to suit the market. If they needed jet fuel they made mostly jet fuel, if they needed gas they made gas. When they crack the crude it actually gains volume as Sam said and a 42 gallon barrel will grow.
One of the refineries makes heavy fuels like bunker fuel for ships and makes no more than 10% gas from a barrel of crude.
With all the exotic ways they can manipulate the crude molecules they can choose what they want to make as a finished product. There is no fixed ratio.

Actually it appears that you can make about 43 gallons of gasoline from one barrel of oil if that is all you use the oil for. The goverment data shows typically the percentage for each type of product derived from a barrel of oil and 19.15 gal. is 44% of 44 gal.
I posted this once before, but maybe some of you missed it. When you are thinking about the high price of gas and want to blame someone, you might want to do a little research and discover the following:
According to the EPA, there has only been one permit request to build a new refinery since 1976, and it was granted.
Consider that, in 1981, the US had 324 refineries with a total capacity of 18.6 million barrels per day (Source: US Department of Energy). Today, there are just 132 oil refineries with a capacity of 16.8 million barrels per day (Source: the Oil and Gas Journal trade publication). We also had more oil companies in 1981 than we do today.
So we have less refinery capacity today than we did 27 years ago, and a lot fewer oil companies to compete due to all of the mergers. Not only were oil companies NOT pushing for new refineries, they were busy shutting down a great many functioning, profitable refineries in the race to consolidate operations and maximize profits.
Looks like they found a great way to maximize those profits to record levels. Welcome to $4 plus per gallon gasoline.

When I had my bar, I always figured 150 glasses as the economic figure of a 1/2 keg. There's the occasional freebe, spillage, foam, and flat beer at the end of the keg. Oh,ya my own freebe or 2.
Now, back then the 1/2 keg was about $32 if I remember correctly, and a glass sold for $.75. I could sell several kegs a night.
You do the math.....
