U.S. gasoline inventories extended their decline, with the latest data showing a sharper drawdown that may point to resilient fuel demand. According to the update on 28 May 2026, gasoline stocks fell by 2.572 million barrels, compared with a previous decrease of 1.548 million barrels.
The acceleration in inventory declines suggests that gasoline consumption could be strengthening, potentially ahead of peak driving season. A deeper-than-prior drawdown often indicates that supply is tightening relative to demand, a dynamic closely watched by energy markets and policymakers for its potential impact on fuel prices and inflation pressures.
