Fiction: "JBII sold only approx 285,000 gallons in 2012."
Reality: 324,252 gallons were sold in 2012 (page 38 of the 10K)

Fiction: The fuel tankers hold 10,200 gallons each.
Reality: The tankers in the pictures appear to be of the 6,500 gallon size.

Fiction: "Make it 28 tankers shipped all year long."
Reality: 324,252 divided by 6,500 = 50 tankers all year, or 79% higher than the false claim (and that doesn't include the extra 38,000 gallons in inventory at yearend or 5-6 more tankers)

Fiction: Maybe he can explain why 'boots on the ground' were claiming seeing multiple tankers being filled and leaving all the time when in reality there were only 28 tankers all year long
Reality: Based on around 40% of 2012's sales in Q4, there were around 20 tankers shipped during October and November or around 2-3 per week.

While I'd certainly like to see more than 50 tankers shipped in a year (and we will), more than 20 in a quarter (and we will), and more than 2-3 per week per processor (and we will), I still prefer reality to fiction. The 28 tankers all year long so therefore the pictures from boots on the ground taken in October 2012 must be doctored is another baseless ridiculous conspiracy theory, that just got crushed. During October/November there were at least 2-3 tankers per week being shipped.
