About Oil Barrels
An oil barrel (bbl) = exactly 42 US gallons ≈ 158.99 L - established by the Pennsylvania oil industry in the 1860s and now the global petroleum standard. Global oil production, OPEC quotas, and crude spot prices are all quoted in barrels or Mb/d (millions of barrels per day); world consumption ~100 Mb/d in 2024. 'Bbl' derives from the 'blue barrel' mark on petroleum containers. 1 bbl = 42 US gal ≈ 159 L.
About Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
