Lower production, higher exports and steady demand have steadily taken a bite out of national gasoline stockpiles. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) last week reported a fifth-straight week of declines in gasoline supplies, which fell by 4.7 million barrels to 206 million barrels. That’s 5 million fewer than last year and 9 million less than the five-year average.
While demand fell slightly from the prior week, the EIA’s figure of 8.87 million barrels a day is still relatively robust for this time of year. At the same time, gasoline production eased to 9.42 million barrels a day, down from 9.65 million barrels a day the previous week, while exports climbed from 859,000 to 1.08 million barrels a day.
“Shrinking gasoline inventories have put some pressure on pump prices, ending the recent streak of price declines seen throughout the Northeast this fall,” said Mark Schieldrop, senior spokesperson for AAA Northeast. “Supply and demand shifts will dictate how much prices shift—and in what direction—in the coming weeks.”
