中国石化新闻网讯 据休斯敦普氏能源资讯6月13日消息，美国能源情报署(Energy Information Administration)周三公布的数据显示，截至6月8日当周，美国汽油需求(以产品供应衡量)创下历史新高。

在6月的第一个完整星期，汽油供应报告为98.79亿桶/日，这是早在1991年的数据中最高的数字。此前的历史最高纪录出现在今年早些时候，当时报告称，截至4月13日当周的日产量为9857万桶。

在需求强劲的情况下，本周美国汽油库存料减少227万桶，至2.36763亿桶，较上年同期减少约2.3%。尽管美国汽油进口量有所上升，但美国汽油库存仍有所下降。美国能源情报署表示，在截至6月1日的一周内，美国汽油进口量从每日777,000桶增至每日824,000桶。

除了需求强劲之外，美国汽油进口增加可能不会导致燃料库存增加，因为汽油出口增加6.9万桶，至每日60.7万桶。美国能源情报署(EIA)的数据显示，这是自2010年以来6月第一周以来的最高出口量。

有趣的是，尽管价格高于历史标准，但美国的需求却达到了历史最高水平。

周二，标普全球普氏(S&P Global Platts)对休斯敦的CBOB进行了评估。休斯顿可能是美国流动性最强的汽油现货市场。这比去年同期的评估价值高出40%以上。

这一数据与汽车俱乐部AAA周三发布的一篇博客文章相符。该博客称，与去年夏天相比，驾车者现在在加油站加油上的支出更多。

驾车者本季度至少要多花250美元加油，但这并不妨碍他们出行。夏季是公路旅行和度假的代名词，我们不会看到美国人今年放弃这种消遣。

同一篇博客文章说，美国一些州现在的油价高于心理上很重要的3美元/加仑。例如，根据美国汽车协会(AAA)的数据，在爱达荷州，99%的加油站的汽油售价都是在3.01美元/加仑以上，而在2017年夏天，没有加油站的汽油价格达到或高于这一水平。

US gasoline demand -- measured as product supplied -- hit a new all-time weekly high in the week ended June 8, Energy Information Administration data showed Wednesday.

Product supplied of gasoline was reported at 9.879 million b/d in the first full week of June, the highest that figure has ever been in data going as far back as 1991. The previous all-time high occurred earlier this year, when product supplied was reported at 9.857 million b/d for the week ended April 13.

Amid robust demand, US gasoline stocks for the week were reported 2.27 million barrels down on the week at 236.763 million barrels, which is about 2.3% below their level in the year-ago week. Those stocks fell despite uptick in US gasoline imports, which the EIA says rose from 777,000 b/d in the week ended June 1 to 824,000 b/d in the week ended June 8.

Aside from strong demand, higher US gasoline imports likely did not lead to an increase in fuel stocks because gasoline exports rose 69,000 b/d to reach 607,000 b/d. The EIA data show this is the highest volume of exports seen in the first full week of June going as far back as 2010.

Interestingly, US demand reached an all-time high despite prices being above historic norms.

On Tuesday, S&P Global Platts assessed CBOB in Houston, which is perhaps the most liquid gasoline cash market in the US, at July NYMEX RBOB futures minus 14.60 cents/gal, or $1.9439/gal. This is more than 40% above the assessment value from the year-ago date.

This data lines up with a blog post from AAA, an auto-club, posted on Wednesday which said that motorists are now spending more on fuel at the pump relative to last summer.

"Motorists can expect to spend at least $250 more on gas this season, but that won't stop them from traveling. Summer is synonymous with road trips and vacation and we are not going to see Americans are giving up this pastime this year," said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokeswoman.

The same blog post said that some US states are now seeing prices at the pump above the psychologically-important $3/gal level. For example, in Idaho, 99% of gas stations are selling gasoline at prices at or above $3.01/gal compared to the summer of 2017, when no gas stations sold fuel at or above this level, according to AAA.
