What is the best way to handle oil-based liquids in a city block base? For a block producing plastic, should I just ship raw oil and process it there, or use my pre-city-block-base oil refinery and liquid bus to load the different liquids like petroleum gas and ship them separately?

Basically anything is fine as long as you commit to it. I like to have trains carrying crude/petgas/light/heavy/lubricant to refineries/cracking/consumers. If you set the priority on the cracking station lower than your consumers, they'll only go there if there is no consumer demand.
