I do know the Taxas oil is better suited for making Plastic. And the Arabic light crude is easier to refine into motor fuels.

OPIS magazine editor confirmed that production runs at refineries vary from time to time but offered the opinion that roughly 67% of a yield of a barrel (42 gal.) of crude oil is gasoline.
He estimated that it takes about 1.5 gallons of crude to make 1 gallon of gasoline.
Light sweet crude is mostly from Texas and Arabia. It is by far the best for yeilding gasoline.
