U.S. gasoline inventories extended their decline, with the latest reading showing a sharper drawdown compared with the previous period, according to data updated on 13 May 2026. Stocks fell by 4.084 million barrels, following a prior decrease of 2.504 million barrels.
The acceleration in inventory draw suggests that gasoline consumption may be outpacing supply, potentially reflecting stronger driving activity or constrained production. While no additional details were provided on refinery runs or imports, the larger-than-previous decline in gasoline stocks will likely feed into market expectations around U.S. fuel demand and could influence short-term price dynamics in the energy complex.
