Easy
The final boiling points of gasoline, diesel, atmospheric gas oil (AGO) and lubricating oils vary as
- Agasoline > diesel > AGO > lubricating oils
- lubricating oils > AGO > diesel > gasoline
- CAGO > lubricating oils > diesel > gasoline
- Dlubricating oils > diesel > AGO > gasoline
Explanation
Petroleum fractions get progressively heavier (higher final boiling point) in the order gasoline < diesel < AGO < lubricating oils, following the standard crude distillation cut sequence from lightest to heaviest.
