Refinery gasoline to diesel ratio

I read an article saying that catalytic cracking does not produce a single drop of oil! What does it prove! In the entire refining industry, there is an excess of oil; according to calculations, producing more oil results in negative returns! Everyone is now pursuing the petrochemical route to produce more chemical raw materials; it’s time to change mindsets as soon as possible

You’re right; businesses are not just there to make money – they also have political responsibilities. But it’s important to protect the interests of ordinary employees as well. With wages not rising while prices and housing costs keep climbing, how can ordinary people survive? The rich get richer while the poor suffer even more. It would be absurd to expect those who are already wealthy to help those who are not – true prosperity for all is not some fantasy
Mindset: lol. . . . .
Is it not possible to achieve this in the short term? In China, most gasoline is produced by blending catalyzed gasoline that has been hydrogenated, right?
That’s the case; there’s nothing wrong with it. The main problem is that the gasoline tax is too high, so it’s not possible to make any money from selling gasoline
Currently, the diesel-to-gas ratio in refineries is above 1; refineries that are redesigned can reduce this ratio to below 0.6, or even lower
Old refineries or small refineries all follow the oil refining route; if they don’t sell gasoline and diesel, they will go bankrupt. Larger refineries pursue the chemical industry route, while for small refineries, adopting this route involves too high an investment cost
