Gasoline gallon equivalent

Gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) or gasoline-equivalent gallon (GEG) is the amount of an alternative fuel it takes to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline. GGE allows consumers to compare the energy content of competing fuels against a commonly known fuel, namely gasoline. It is difficult to compare the cost of gasoline with other fuels if they are sold in different units and physical forms. GGE attempts to solve this. One GGE of CNG and one GGE of electricity have exactly the same energy content as one gallon of gasoline. In this way, GGE provides a direct comparison of gasoline with alternative fuels, including those sold as a gas (natural gas, propane, hydrogen) and as metered electricity. (Wikipedia).

FRM: Crude oil crack spread

A petroleum refiner producing gasoline and heating oil could use a futures crack spread to lock in both the cost of oil and output prices. As the refiner buys crude oil as an input, that is the long futures position in the crack spread; as the refiner sells gas and/or heating oil, that's t
