The Elderberries by Corey Pandolph and Phil Frank and Joe Troise for April 18, 2014
Transcript:
Dusty: Say, pard... I really appreciate you deliverin' one drum of oil all the way out here to Elderpark, but... Man: But what, pops? Dusty: I was quoted $1.72 a gallon for the crude oil - $72.24 for the drum. This is $74.90. Man: Price went up while I was unloading it. Sorry. Want to try Iran? Dusty: No! No! This is just fine!

The math is correct for a barrel of oil (42 gallons times $1.72 per gallon). However, a barrel is not the same as a drum. A drum is 55 gallons.
