OIL PRODUCTS

GasBuddy models U.S. gasoline demand in the latest weekly data (Sun-Sat) to Aug. 10 at 8.94m b/d. The figure is down 3.8% on the week.

  • Demand fell 6.9% in PADD1 likely due partially to Tropical Storm Debby causing mass flooding.
  • Average US gas prices fell 3.2 cents/gal on the week to $3.41/gal, according to GasBuddy.
  • “As summer driving season comes to a gradual close, we continue to see gasoline prices declining in most of the country as demand remains muted. Incredibly, the drop has also caused diesel fuel prices to crumble to their lowest level since before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy
