U.S. gasoline stocks fell by 6.3 million barrels in the week to 214.9 million barrels, their lowest level since September 2023, the EIA said. Distillate stockpiles fell by 3.1 million barrels in the week to 118.5 million barrels. Gasoline product supplied was up by 1.13 million barrels per day (BBL/d) to 9.65 million BBL/d, the biggest week-over-week increase since February 2001.
