It says other products and lists naphtha. WTF do they think bulk gasoline is before all of the octane boosters are added? It’s fucking naphtha. Here’s a dirty little secret. A lot of plants have fluid catalyst crackers which make a shitload of naphtha from heavy oils and it’s not to make more gasoline. It’s to crack that naphtha into aromatics like xylene, toluene and benzene. The leftovers that can’t be cracked or if they produce more than can me cracked into aromatics gets blended with octane boosters and sold as gasoline.
Which makes the show "Earth Abides" just so retarded. Episode 3 has progressed the story 14 years into the future, and there is still just this handful of survivors, yet the guy has no problem driving his car? Where is the fuel coming from after 14 years? And they have water and electricity?
