Fuel Fact of the Week

Fact #1117: The Number of U.S. Crude Oil Refineries Has Declined but Total Distillation Capacity Has Risen From 1982 to 2019

In 1982 there were over 250 operating crude oil refineries in the United States; that number declined to 132 by 2019. Meanwhile, the total distillation capacity of all refineries combined increased from a low of 14.4 million barrels per calendar day in 1985 to a high of 18.7 in 2019. Thus, the average distillation capacity per refinery increased by 123% from 1982 to 2019.

While alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) fuel economy testing is largely similar to that of conventional fuels, the EPA makes some adjustments to account for different vehicle technology and fuel energy content. By tailoring AFV fuel economy testing and reporting, the EPA is able to provide apples-to-apples comparisons and allow consumers to make informed decisions.
