Trend Analysis: 

Despite continued lower-than-normal demand for gasoline, the national average price for gasoline is three cents higher this week at $3.59. The primary culprit is a higher oil price, which has recently increased to the mid-$70s per barrel. 

According to the latest data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand increased slightly from 8.76 to 8.86 million b/d for the week ending July 14. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks fell from 219.5 to 218.4 million barrels.

At the close of last Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate decreased by 40 cents to settle at $75.35. Oil prices slid last week in response to market concerns that crude demand may soften in the months ahead. Due to extended repair timelines at refineries, lower refinery oil usage rates could influence how much oil prices decline.
