Mark Howard, OEM-RPDD & Troy Swackhammer, USEPA OEM-RPDD EIA RAISES US USEPA GASOLINE DEMAND OUTLOOK
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its outlook for US gasoline demand by 100,000 b/d to 8.7 million b/d for 2021.
An improved economic forecast and increase in travel has led to the revised figures from the EIA. A cyber-attack on the Colonial Pipeline has led to potential fuel shortages as operations have been halted for several days. The pipeline is a primary artery for gasoline and refined products for much of the South and East Coast, delivering more
10
than 100 million gal/d of fuels. EIA said it was closely monitoring the outage, which happened after it completed modelling and analysis for the May Short-Term Energy Outlook. EIA expects US gasoline consumption to average nearly 9 million b/d during the summer driving season (AprilSeptember), which is 1.2 million b/d
above last summer but still 600,000 b/d below summer 2019 levels. US gasoline demand is expected to average 8.92 million b/d in 2022, EIA said. For more information visit www.eia.gov
