Trend Analysis:
The national average for a gallon of gas has remained stable at $3.12 over the past week due to easing oil costs and lower domestic gasoline demand. Today’s national average is nine cents more than a month ago and two cents more than a year ago.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand fell from 8.32 million barrels per day last week to 8.08. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose from 243.6 million barrels to 245.9, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.2 million barrels per day.

At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate fell 39 cents to settle at $75.44 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 1.0 million barrels from the previous week. At 411.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6% below the five-year average for this time of year.
