Diesel is not a byproduct of making gasoline; it's a co-product. A
barrell of oil (42 gal) is usually made into a wide range of petro
products, depending on what is in demand and inventory levels. Refiners
can vary the process to produce more or less of a particular product
(within certain physical limits). More heating oil in late summer, less
in late winter, for example.

Diesel, for example, is a by-product of making gasoline, so in making
a gallon of gasoline, x amount of diesel will result as a by-product.
WTF? I can't believe your saying this Leland, I thought that you were
all over this fuel.
