Benzene is typically manufactured from crude oil through a process called catalytic reforming, where naphtha (a fraction of crude oil) is heated at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst to produce benzene along with other byproducts like toluene and xylenes. Benzene can also be extracted from other processes in the petroleum refining industry, such as steam cracking or toluene hydrodealkylation.
Benzene and toluene are both aromatic hydrocarbons that can be derived from petroleum sources. They are commonly found in crude oil and can be separated during the refining process. Benzene and toluene are important industrial chemicals used in various applications such as the production of plastics, solvents, and fuels.
Benzene can be isolated from crude oil through fractional distillation, where it is separated from other hydrocarbons based on differences in boiling points. Alternatively, benzene can also be synthesized from other chemicals through processes such as the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane or the hydrodealkylation of toluene.
The weight of crude oil can vary depending on its density and temperature, but on average, 1 liter of crude oil weighs approximately 0.85 to 0.87 kilograms.
These are often called hydrocarbons, though they can also refer to a much wider variety of organic molecules, which are all flammable. Among those obtained from crude oil are: gasoline (chemically known as iso-octane), propane (main ingredient of LPG), butane (used in lighters), naphtha (lighter fluids), kerosene, benzene, paraffin wax (seen in candles), etc.

Petroleum. For details about the chemistry you might wish to consult the benzene page on wikipedia.
Benzene is a specific chemical compound with the formula C6H6, while petroleum benzene refers to benzene that is derived from crude oil during the refining process. Petroleum benzene may contain impurities and other hydrocarbons not present in pure benzene.
On average, a gallon of gasoline contains around 0.6-2% benzene by volume, which is roughly 0.05-0.15 gallons or 0.2-0.6 liters of benzene per gallon of gasoline. Benzene is a naturally occurring component of crude oil and is present in small amounts in gasoline.

I personally produce or import no crude oil
Benzene is mainly produced from petroleum refining processes, particularly through the catalytic reforming of naphtha, a liquid mixture derived from crude oil. It can also be obtained as a byproduct of coal tar or produced synthetically through processes like toluene hydrogenation or dealkylation. These methods allow for the large-scale commercial production of benzene for various industrial applications.

That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.
Crude oil is crude oil, there is no such thing as gas oil. Gasoline is refined from crude oil. 1 barrel of Benchmark crude oil for May delivery is currently $48.20 as of 3/31/09.
If you drink crude oil you will likely get diarrhea. Depending on the source of the crude and how much you drink you may experience other gastrointestinal problems. Drinking crude oil is NOT a good idea.
