Varying Reports on US Gasoline Demand

OIL PRODUCTS

EIA gasoline product supplied, an implied proxy for US gasoline demand has shown a lot of weakness through July, countering comments by US oil companies last week during results calls which indicated demand was holding up through July.

  • Retail gasoline demand data by GasBuddy also indicates that US gasoline demand is holding up stronger than EIA product supplied figures suggest (see chart).
  • The EIA recommend looking at its product supplied figures on a four-week average to avoid the volatility that arrives from the weekly figures. The last four weeks average at 8.6mn bpd is down from 9mn bpd the four weeks prior.
  • The US gasoline crack is up 0.2$/bbl today at 32.03$/bbl after yesterday’s EIA report showed national gasoline stocks holding up.
