I know and that would seem to make it even more expensive. A 2000 lbs. head of cattle doesn't produce anything close to 2000 lbs. of meat. And since the guys corrected me and a bbl. of crude is 42 gal. and not all of that can be refined 1:1 into gasoline, I really think gas is pretty cheap relative to the cost of oil.
